Am I interpreting this correctly in that, given that OpenBSD was created as a fork from NetBSD - there's now not a single line of (original) NetBSD code left in OpenBSD?
- zamadatix 2y agoNo, it's that there is not a single file of original code left. This was just the last remaining file to not have a line of code edited since then (that definition seems to exclude the automatically added OpenBSD opening comment line). Likely lasting so long because it was an extremely short makefile without much meat and potatoes to change even if the code for what it was about changed.
- fsckboy 2y agosymbolically, keeping one original file seems a lot more meaningful to me. is a younger generation at the helm? an older veneration seems less likely to do this.
- zamadatix 2y agoThe particular changes and log message are actually by The de Raadt, the guy that started OpenBSD after being one of the founders of NetBSD. If it weren't for such an incredible specific example of how it wasn't so you would feel extremely justified in your initial position though. That's the danger with these types of thoughts, they are often easy to come up with, easy to feel confident about, and hard for anyone else to disprove.
- _yb2s 2y agoThe files are mostly the same. It goes against OpenBSD ethos not to constantly review and improve the entire codebase.
- SoftTalker 2y agoI think it means that there are no longer any unchanged files. Much more likely that there are many lines of code that are still the same.
