Sounds like you're doing something unnecessarily more complicated than this: $ time cvs -d anoncvs@anoncvs1.ca.openbsd.org:/cvs export -rHEAD src/sys/kern/kern_fork.c U src/sys/kern/kern_fork.c

Please take the time to send diffs to tech@ instead of writing code review comments on hackernews which will most likely not be read by relevent people and therefore have no effect whatsoever. Thanks.

They certainly do have quality issues. A friend of mine had to mod an M2 to make it work with PoE over long cables. http://hofmeyr.de/PoE%20power%20fix%20for%20NanoStationM2/ The manufacturer obviously didn't test

Base libraries are not removed automatically but libraries from packages are (though sometimes they stay in limbo as .libs- package, e.g. if pkg_add is interrupted).

Patches welcome. The first step would be iconv in OpenBSD base (there are existing BSD-licensed implementations to start from). Then have mg make use of it. http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=134581162518146&w=2 (Ed

This wasn't a question about having a functional webserver or not. It was a conscious decision against running code without reading it first. The "run but don't read" strategy belongs into ports, not base. Hence nginx mo

One reason is that network installs require http. The base system would be unable to self-replicate across network installs without httpd.

+1 for Mort. It is fantastic. And it is about death, so it's highly, should I dare say, appropriate for the occasion. The Wee Free Men and Dodger are also nice to read. They focus a bit less on humour, being geared a little more toward

Back when I followed the long discussions about introducing git at the ASF (now live at git.apache.org) several git proponents said that git without github is pointless to them. I was quite surprised how adamant some people were about that.

You're absolute right from my experience. I"ve seen many shops using svn:externals to tie build dependencies together. And now that git is starting to see wider adoption within industry (not just software companies) the same is at

Your clients will need to grok the ideas behind open source. Try asking potential clients what they believe the open source community will get out of it if you take on the job. Their answer will probably tell you if they understand what the

By the way, add Realtek and Ralink (now Mediatek) to the above list of companies writing drivers for Linux. And now name a wifi chipset that isn't made by one of these companies. :-) It's awesome that Linux has achieved this kind

It's not fair to blame these OSs for asking you get firmware. It is a LEGAL issue, not a technical one!!! Get the vendors to make wifi firmware freely redistributable (or even better, fully open source + build instructions) and it will

Bumping datasize-cur in /etc/login.conf up to at least 1024M should prevent the libreoffice crashes. It's quite possible that this limit will be bumped up by default soon as the low default limits keep causing issues with app

bwi(4) has bugs, yes. We haven't found them. Your ethernet chip is bce(4) which really needs this fix if you have more than 1GB of RAM in the machine: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-bugs&m=142195923213919&w=2 Alte

If the internal wifi doesn't work you could try a supported USB-based wifi adapter. Your internal card might eventually be supported. If having internal wifi is very important then try before you buy. Do you remember what Linux wifi su

Yes, unfortunately there is no tooling for configuring wifi graphically. The existing tools from Linux land are tightly coupled with frameworks that don't exist on OpenBSD (network manager, linux mac80211 ioctls, and probably systemd i
