OpenBSD Hackathon Underway

Posted by timothy on from the so-don't-even-ask dept.

Triumph The Insult C writes "Aside from some stealth developers, the annual OpenBSD Hackathon, held in Calgary, is underway, according to Theo. They've been doing some recent work on SMP, and have some impressive AMD SMP gear there that they've got to hack around with. A few years ago, it was PF. Who knows what they'll come up with this time that knocks our socks off."

    I installed 3.5 yesterday, oddly enough.

    It only took 15 minutes to install the base system. All my hardware autodetected without problems. What's wrong with the installer?

    There has been a lot of babbling on the mailing list. Everyone is against it. They are sticking with 1.3.39 (i think) with all of their security fixes. There will only be updates for security reasons. To quote the general thoughts of the developers: "If you don't like it, don't bitch at us; Bitch at Apache"

    Anyway, nothing is stopping you from running 2.x or any other apache. It just won't be supported.

    I think that Carp/pfsync is more important than apache. Plus now there is some SMP to work with.

    Just my 2 cents.
