I have often done copy/paste with Python code between xterms. Of course you must fix indenting. If you naively copy/paste C you will also have issues of syntax and meaning, but if you are so used to looking at C code that the meaning in the new context is immediately obvious without thinking then you will not notice. Instead you just fix/adjust it in place and move on. Some people will never like indent having meaning. But there is value in having an 'else' that *looks* like it belongs with ...

Ugh, a programming language where you can't copy paste from xterm to xterm without fucking up the program is just way to much pain to work on. The indenting of code is an optical help but should not change the behaviour of the program. For me it is important to be able to write code with style(9) in mind (and I think most other BSD developpers think similar because our code all looks similar).

Re: OT: Python (was Re: vi in /bin)
In my experience (mostly python and c), code that has been pasted has a higher bug density. This is because most of the copy/paste goes like this: 1) Write some loop 2) Need similar loop 3) copy/paste old loop 4) Modify pasted loop (but forget one tiny change) 5) New loop has bug It's worse with Python because of the indentation (tabs vs. spaces), but as a general rule I would say never copy/paste code. -- Floor Terra <floort@gmail.com> www: http://brobding.mine.nu/

Re: Root file system is growing strangely
I found it, it was pflogd who was filling the root. Strange thing is that /var is on separate partition from / and acording to man FILES /var/run/pflogd.pid Process ID of the currently running pflogd. /var/log/pflog Default log file. can I chroot pflogd to /var and is that a good idea? Is this and incident due to problem with my pf.conf which is: set skip on lo0 block in all block out all block in quick log on nfe0 proto tcp flags FUP/WEUAPRSF block in quick log on nfe0 ...

Re: Root file system is growing strangely
Well, that was a good idea thanks for it, but no luck. I`ve killed and start again every process listed in fstat but the amount of used space has not drop. I`ve forgot to mention that I use 4.6-stable with GENERIC kernel. /dev/wd0a 1005M 274M 680M 29% /

Re: Root file system is growing strangely
Then start snapshotting via du -s k <whatever is on the partition> Rinse, lather, and repeat until you find out what the actual thing that keeps growing is. Had to do this myself earlier this week, as someone had a) decided that logging to /root/somefile was a good idea

Re: vi in /bin
yes, it really means "a great little editor". although putting "great" and "little" together sounds all wrong. anyway, i was drunk when i wrote that. otherwise i would have ignored this stupid thread. jmc

Re: vi in /bin
That's bad: sed is still needed, see /usr/src/distrib/miniroot/list for a striking example. That said, liking and using Perl a lot, the same happens to me, but i see that as deficiency, not a virtue.

Re: vi in /bin
It seems that every decade has its own fashionable Unix scripting language. The original scripting language, used in the 1970's was sed. But awk became the fashionable language in the 1980's, then perl in the 1990's, and now python in the 2000's. Who knows what will be next? If you have time to spare, it certainly could be useful to learn all of these languages. But if you're going to learn just one of them, then I vote for sed. You will still encounter environments where sed is the only ...

I'm aftraid my English (Scottish?) idiom falls short here. But I guess "braw wee editor" means "small, but fine editor"? Because then you are right, of course. -Otto (who learned ed before any other editor)

Re: No RTF_UP after route change to an interface that is up
No I don't think this is a good decision. I prefer having them different from the dynamic host routes generated by arp and icmp. This is a very simple way to ensure that this those special routes are a I know a few things especially with new interface addresses are still not See attached diff.

Re: re1: watchdog timeout
I had that behavior when running openbsd (and netbsd) in qemu, which was fixed (hacked around) by disabling mpbios: For OpenBSD, we need to disable mpbios (for full details, see http://scie.nti.st/2009/10/4/running-openbsd-4-5-in-kvm-on-ubuntu-linux-9-04). In brief, login to OpenBSD as root and type the following, then reboot: config -ef /bsd disable mpbios quit So give that a try, maybe it will work for you too? If you follow the link it also describes how to ...
