Binary updates are available for the stable release of OpenBSD from M:Tier
Those updates are only useful to OpenBSD users who trust third-party binary blobs. I'm not sure that's a very large set...
- keithpeter 11y agoValid point, perhaps I'm too trusting as a Desktop sort of person.
- tedunangst 11y agoNot really third party; just openbsd developers wearing a different hat.
- cperciva 11y agoI didn't realize the people behind that were OpenBSD developers. But don't you make a distinction between the project and its members? In FreeBSD we're very clear about things coming from the project itself (and built on project-managed hardware) vs. things coming from individual developers.
- tedunangst 11y agoCorrect. It's not a project effort, but not very much would change if it were.
- jmnicolas 11y agoWell when you come from OSX, trusting third-party binary blobs shouldn't be a big problem.
