- fortran77 6y agoHuh!? There was some amazing drama here, during the first ports of the early 90s. https://www.unixmen.com/freebsd-vs-openbsd/ https://www.unixmen.com/freebsd-vs-openbsd/ and then the lawsuits: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/explaining-bsd/why-is-bsd-not-better-known.html https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/explain... https://klarasystems.com/articles/history-of-freebsd-part-2-bsdi-and-usl-lawsuits/ https://klarasystems.com/articles/history-of-freebsd-part-2-...
- rnd0 6y agoApproximately 30 years ago. Mandatory must-care-about drama since then? No, not really.
- mnd999 6y agoThere’s always some drama. Maybe not of the must-care-about but there’s always something. The ASLR patch comes to mind, as does the KSE / libthr thing. Equally there have been some very grown up moments. The Matt Dillon / DragonflyBSD fork comes to mind.
- yjftsjthsd-h 6y agoThere was the... I'm going to call it the no-hugs-coc drama a few years ago (https://www.theregister.com/2018/02/21/freebsd_code_of_conduct_controversy/ https://www.theregister.com/2018/02/21/freebsd_code_of_condu...). Not exactly earth-shattering, but I think that counts as drama.
- ksec 6y agoIs that no hug thing still in place?
- yjftsjthsd-h 6y agoI believe they replaced that coc with a new one since then so I believe it's no longer an issue
- __turbobrew__ 6y agoYou must have missed the FreeBSD code of conduct change 2 years ago and all of the port maintainers who left as a result. I’m not even a FreeBSD user but heard about it. hug
