OpenRiot v7.9.27 — Dump It Like It’s Hot

“The TUI has a dump button now. And it checks your patches.” — The OpenRiot Crew

Release Overview

v7.9.27 introduces a full dump(8)/restore(8) workflow into the migrate TUI (openriot --backup), an errata checker that compares kernel build date against a hardcoded patch table, a CSS line-height fix so heading descenders stop getting clipped on GitHub Pages, and emoji width alignment in the main menu.

🔒 Errata Checker

openriot --install now checks for missing security patches. On stable: runs syspatch -l and compares listed IDs against a hardcoded table; installs via doas syspatch. On -current: parses kernel build date from sysctl kern.version and compares it against patch publish dates; installs via doas sysupgrade -s.

[INFO] A Security Patch Exists for your system
[INFO] Fixes X server: dri2, sync, saver, Xkb extensions
[WARN] Requires a system reboot!

File	Change
`source/installer/version.go`	`CheckErrata()` wired into install;
	`defaultErrata` with 001/002/003;
	`checkErrataCurrent()` date comparison;
	`checkErrataStable()` syspatch -l;
	`FetchErrata()` + `ParseErrataHTML()` for
	future standalone command

	and HTML parsing
`source/commands/helpers.go`	Errata check in `runInstall()` before
	any package work

📐 Heading Descender Fix

The midnight theme’s tight line-height: 1.1 on h1-h3 was clipping tails off letters like g, j, p, q, y. Added line-height: 1.5 to the heading override in style.scss.

File	Change
`assets/css/style.scss`	`line-height: 1.5` on all headings

💾 System Dump in the TUI

The “💾 System Dump” menu item is now in the migrate TUI. Full integration:

Drive selection — pick your external FFS drive (reuses existing drive scanner)
Dump submenu — Full Dump (level 0), Incremental Dump (level 1), Restore from Dump
Async execution — background goroutine keeps the UI responsive
Progress output — real-time dump(8) stderr streamed into the TUI
Cancel support — ESC during dump/restore
Restore scans dump files by name convention (level0-root-*.dump) and restores to the correct target filesystem (/, /home, /var)

File	Change
`source/migrate/dump.go`	NEW — async dump/restore with progress
`source/migrate/screens/types.go`	Added `ScreenDump`,
	`ScreenDumpProgress`
`source/migrate/screens/menus.go`	`DumpMenuChoices`, main menu entry,
	emoji width fixes
`source/migrate/handlers/main_menu.go`	Route to dump screens
`source/migrate/model.go`	Dump screen handling, progress polling
`source/migrate/ui.go`	`renderDumpMenu()`, `renderDumpProgress()`

🧹 Minor Fixes

Change	File
`img { line-height: 0; }` for mobile rendering	`assets/css/style.scss`
`ℹ️`→`📋`, `⚙️`→`🔧` emoji alignment	`source/migrate/screens/menus.go`
