Re: [Efw-user] Another release, another messed up distribution

2013-10-31 Thread Robert B. Nelson
I decided to give pfSense a look. I previously ignored it because it was 
FreeBSD and I'm mostly a SysV guy. 

I've now switched and wish I'd done it long ago. Its much more fully featured 
and far less buggy. I was able to duplicate all the functionality I was using 
on EFW and I didn't have to hack the source code! But if in the future I do 
want to make changes, then all the correct source is available, what a concept.

[Efw-user] Another release, another messed up distribution

2013-10-31 Thread Robert B. Nelson
I decided to upgrade from 2.5.1 to 2.5.2 and discovered that once again Endian 
has released binaries without the corresponding source. I found at least 65 
packages in the ISO that don't have corresponding SRC rpms in the tar file 
uploaded to sourceforge. 


Aside from the total lack of concern for abiding by the GPL, this makes it 
impossible for the "community" to support the "community release".
