I see... this happens when an item has both input and output

Could you try this diff please? It should give you something
more like:

Re: Real men don't attack straw men

As far as I understand, the OpenBSD position appears to be that trying
to police users by forbidding them to maintain and retrieve port
metadata about unfree software via this adjunct service (that is not
included in the OS) would be a restriction of the users' freedom.

Obviously I disagree with that position. This isn't an issue of the
users' freedom at all. It is an issue of what OpenBSD says to the
public.

Then there's the practical side to consider. Most computer users simply
do not care about freedom. They only want their stuff to work. Even
among the local Linux crowd in my town, if I bring up an issue of
freedom I get a frigid response, or even outright anger. Mostly they
want a blanket blessing for using Free Software (even when it's not),
and they want to stick it to Microsoft. And... they don't want to think,

Re: openbsd 3.9 and httpd-2.2.6

The ports tree is there for a reason.

in 3.9 this was in a separate port. In 4.2 it's in xbase.
In -current it's in base.

I strongly advise upgrading to 4.2 and use ports/packages.

You are missing expat (or the linker can't find it). pkg_add it. But,
you might want to take this opportunity to upgrade and install apache2

Re: : no 4.2-stable package updates??

As I recall from the FAQ and installation manual, an overall
philosphy for OpenBSD is that the package system is the
recommended. Users are encouraged to install from binary
packages. And regular users should follow the stable
branch.

Does this still apply. It seems not from this thread, so
in what way should a regular user now follow the stable branch?

And yes, it should be in the FAQ.

As an inexperienced user, I still hear: "use the package system." But

If security is of the utmost importance, following security
announcements and applying patches yourself, as necessary, is the
thing to do. The developers have work to do.. which involves
continuing development. If you want to use -stable, which is
unmaintained/unsupported, use the appropriate cvs repo and build from
ports.

This is how I've interpreted things, maybe I'm wrong.. but I see...

Inaccurate restart of Apache 1.3

Hello,

from an earlier system. Doing this I hade cause to restart
Apache 1.3 and Apache 2.2 repeatedly until my access control
worked correctly. This disclosed a shortcoming in Apache 1.3,
which I verified anew some five minutes ago.

OpenBSD httpd normally runs in a chroot; if it has to access

in /usr/lib/apache/modules), you must stop+start rather than
use 'restart'.

Theo de Raadt
Re: Exclusion caused by SMALL_KERNEL

SMALL_KERNEL is an unfortunate (but small) hack that we
introduced into the source tree to allow us to continue
building very small kernels, for installation purposes.

The option has no other purpose, and we do no other testing
to ensure that it interoperates with anything other than
the required basics for ... installation.

Sorry. Don't use it.

ask questions. :)
