If I want a list of the changes you've made in, say, the last week, I check out a full source tree, cvs log the whole thing, and then go through tens of thousands of lines of log by hand to see what changes were made? Or if I want to find out which files were affected when a particular PR was closed, I do the same? Oh, and just to make it harder you've put in log messages that fix something and reference a completely unrelated PR. (Or does PR #42 have some relation to find(1) that I just don't understand?) Where do I get a copy of the commit logs, Theo? FreeBSD gives them out, even NetBSD makes them available on a maling list, why not you? 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? 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. cjs -- Curt Sampson cjs@portal.ca Info at http://www.portal.ca/ Internet Portal Services, Inc.
