Custom OpenBSD 3.0 with IPFilter From Darren Reed

Posted by timothy on from the isos-to-follow dept.

rjk191 writes: "Darren Reed, the author of IPFilter, has created his own release of OpenBSD which puts IPFilter back in. IPFilter was removed from OpenBSD 3.0 by the OpenBSD team due to license issues. See his newsgroup posting that announces it here." Here's the whole thread for some more information.

    Dude,

    You don't want to include my program with your distribution?

    Fine, I'll just include your distribution with my program!

    'nuff said!

    I actually feel a nice sense of relief when I read this Troll. It just wouldn't be a slashdot *BSD story without him.

    And since he was so late today, I was actually concerned that he was the one who had died, rather than BSD.

    It is ironic, yet just desserts, that Theo is now losing control of the OpenBSD project, to a man with whom he has had many personal spats in the past.


    Darren Reed wresting control of OpenBSD from Theo? Are you serious? Did Theo wrest control of NetBSD from whomever? No, he just started his own BSD. From what I can tell, NetBSD is chugging along just fine. Darren can do the same, create "OpenBiggerEgo" or something; if it ends up better, great.

    Given Theo's legendary patience and understanding, i'm sure that Theo and Darren can find a compromise they can live with and work this out.
