It's good, but in my opinion, the fact that patches are not distributed in binary form is a bit of a problem. (Yes, I understand the reasons). With debian, I type "apt-get upgrade" and that's it. With openbsd it's more complicated.
- 4ad 10y agoOpenBSD binary patches: https://stable.mtier.org https://stable.mtier.org
- blue1 10y agoYes, but isn't it a bad idea to install binary patches from a third party?
- 4ad 10y agoThis 3rd party is comprised by OpenBSD developers though. While not an official OpenBSD project, the people that provide these patches are the same people that have built OpenBSD packages in the first place. So if you trust those binaries, you should trust these binaries too.
- TechoHall 10y agoThis is simply outdated and wrong information. M:Tier does not employ "the same people that have built OpenBSD packages in the first place." Last I checked, naddy@ built the AMD64 packages. He does not work there. In fact, I don't know if any OpenBSD developers still work there. Maybe one (jasper@) but you'd need to ask them.
- 4ad 10y agoThanks for the important correction. It would be great if this were documented somewhere.
