FreeBSD gives them out, even NetBSD makes them available on a maling list, why not you? Of course the Changelogs also available via a mailing list. It is called source-changes@openbsd.org and you can get access to it via our majordomo server. If you don't like anoncvs, you can use CTM to fetch the entire cvs tree in RCS form. That has the Changelog files included. The Changelog file is not copied into the ftp mirrors because it would get copied everyday and I calculate the daily bandwidth needed to move it from repository machine -> mirror sites to be unneccessary. Now, Curt, YOU KNOW ALL THIS. You HAVE BEEN on the web page that describes the mailing lists and all these other things. You are simply trying to be troublesome. Or do you have some plan to stay ahead of everyone else in the security realm by taking other systems' fixes and merging them into OpenBSD, but making it as difficult as possible to find OpenBSD fixes so they can be merged into other systems? I wonder how you come to that conclusion when our source tree is freely available in two different forms and the NetBSD tree IS NOT. As for the NetBSD repository not being available for public access, yes, that is currently the case, we agree that it's a problem, and we're working on it. Yup, because the NetBSD tree has illegal source code in it. -- This space not left unintentionally unblank. deraadt@theos.com www.OpenBSD.org -- We're fixing security problems so you can sleep at night.
