there probably needs to be some effort to address the differences.


I've never used PPP in any sense.  Any chance I could enlist you to
help write some content?  I could turn it into docbook, edit it, etc.

Request for merge into 9.x

2012-12-12 Thread Paul Webster
Hello I was recently reading about your work on the Ralink 2860, I run
an EEEPC 1000 at the moment and have always wanted to run freebsd on
it; however due to the wireless not being supported and a hatred for
hanging usb dongles handing everywhere; I had to run linux.

I am no driver developer, but I would love to give your driver a trial
run on 9.1-RELEASE or -STABLE if easier, I am quite sure once everyone
with an eeepc realizes we finally have a working wifi card; they will
be most impressed :)

as an aside, if you could leave me some simplish instructions on howto
actually generate the kernel module in 9.0/9.1 -RELEASE I would
happily report how well it works

Re: Upgrading FreeBSD to use the NEW pf syntax.

2012-11-24 Thread Paul Webster

I only really need one question answered in honesty;

I personally think that by forking our own version of PF we have  
essentially made something totally different to what everyone wants to  
use. Which is fine, but because of that development of new features have  
dropped behind.


If we had kept up with OpenBSD's version even if we trailed it by one  
MAJOR release; at least part of the development would have been done.


So now we end up in a situation where we have these firewalls,  
IPFW2,ipf,pf(modded) and users wanting the newer features of OpenBSD's pf.  
So timewise the fork of pf may have actually cost more in time rather than  
less.


I don't however think the 'solution' to the problem is just to say no to  
the userbase by not even trying to port across the newer pf. I think we  
should look at bringing it across, slowly and seeing what the uptake is  
like; in a few MAJOR releases we can start to look at which of the  
firewalls realistically are not used that much and should be deprecated.

You were wrong. OpenBSD doesn't move towards SMP model. Locking more
recent pf is not simplier, but the opposite.



I am sorry but you are asking arguments i already have given you.
You didn;t listen once and i do not expect this time as well.

How many bugs have you closed after the previous bulk import? Why should
we expect anything good from new import if the previous one was a PITA?



Well you have used it for your work so it was not so PITA.
Most of the ones you closed had message 'This is to old to be true'; 'I
have re-written PF and this should be fixed'.



And still I don't see any answer on the question: what exact features or
perfomance improvements are we going to obtain from "the new pf"?



See above.



E> You already have 'broken' some functionality as if-bound in FreeBSD
10.x so

Is there any PR filed on that? I didn't even receive a mail about that.


I really do not think you do the right approach or the right  
communication

on this.
Sorry for replying to you ;).

Upgrading FreeBSD to use the NEW pf syntax. (Copied from freebsd-pf)

2012-11-19 Thread Paul Webster

Forward notice:

I sent this to freebsd-pf originally and did not CC -current, but as the  
issue would affect current and the more opinions the better... I have sent  
it here too.


-- Cheers, daemon

-- original message

Good day all,

I am aware this is a much discussed subject since the upgrade of PF, I
believe the final decision was that to many users are used to the old
style pf and an upgrade to the new syntax would cause to much confusion.

There was a recent debate on ##freebsd about this issue and I was inclined
to mail in and get your opinions; basically it boiled down to the majority
of users wanting either:

1) To move to the newer pf and just add to releases notes what had
happened,
and
2) my own personal opinion: creating 'pf2-*' as a kernel option tree,
basically using the newer pf syntax and allowing users to choose.

I would be interested to know the feedback from you guys as to be honest
there seems to be quite a few users who actually DO want the new style
format and functionality that comes with.

I Attached the log of the conversation just for reference.

Using Opera's revolutionary email client: http://www.opera.com/mail/* daemonik (~ad...@mail.originate.com) has joined ##freebsd
 Is the implementation of PF on FreeBSD up to date yet?
 no
* stormcrow (~phyde...@c-24-126-183-121.hsd1.ga.comcast.net) has left ##freebsd
 and it won't ever be, we (retardedly) forked it with some random 
guy's patches rather than updating it
 it's rare that that question asked about *any* part of the base OS 
will be answered with "yes"
 doh.  booo @ random patches
 blakkheim that was truly a stupid move
 i agree
 any chance of getting them to 'take it back'
 they think freebsd users are too stupid to adapt to the newer pf 
syntax and "thousands will upgrade without knowing and be left with an 
unreachable system" or some bs like that
 is there anything that pf can do that ipfw cannot do
 check the freebsd-pf mailing list illuminated (or feel free to post 
and complain)
 blakkheim: That's pretty damn . . wow
 might be worth a few emails to all the lists asking for other users to 
post into the pf list to support moving to the correct pf
 maybe we can implement the newer pf as 'pf2'
 FreeBSD presently doesn't have ALTQ support included in the generic 
kernel, correct? Is there an alternative to ALTQ?
 daemon: i think so too
 daemon: Is it really that hard to shout in the appropriate places to 
properly inform users? What about release notes? Anybody who doesn't read 
release notes deserves what's coming to them.
 that's what i said!
* chrisb has learned to read MOVED and UPDATING closely
 Huh . . that kind of behavior is why no one respects anyone/thing 
associated with GNOME anymore . .
 daemonik, I dont see it being that hard to use both the 'ramdon guys 
patches' version of pf as the default for a few releases putting the newer 
version of pf as 'pf2'
 therefor satisfying both channels of thought
 there certainly should be A WAY of using the newer version
 posting these thoughts to freebsd-pf@ is much more likely to invoke 
a change (or at least a poll or something) than on irc
 daemon: No . . the noobs are the ones who should have to use a 
pf-something. I bother to read the release notes, I want to use the correct 
version of the software. Why should I have to suffer? Why should I change when 
they're the ones who suck?
* nightwalk has quit (Ping timeout: 276 seconds)
 I'll make a post later tonight. I hope that others see these 
messages and also articulate their thoughts on the mailing list. FreeBSD should 
hold a high standard for something as important as PF.
 daemonik, if you did read release notes you would see 'ad the new 
version of pf is pf2' there is no need to upset users without cause; as the 
'patched' pf is the default for the tag 'pf' at the moment making the new 
version 'pf2' is literally much more sane
 and certainly a huge degree less antagonistic
 How do I find the size of a folder?
 And for that matter how do I search a man page?
 du -sh dirname and use /string to search
 Thanks blakkheim
 I would rather read the release notes seeing that the WRONG version 
of PF gets deprecated to pf-legacy as it ought to be — knowing that those who 
don't read the release notes will have a bad day.
 Referring to the CORRECT and latest stable version of PF as "PF2" 
would make FreeBSD . . well, look about as incompetent as certain Linux distros 
sometimes do to say the least.
 daemonik, transistion time should always be taken into account on any 
system; if we did was I was suggesting then 'pf' would be the new version in 
-CURRENT but for later 9.x releases it would still have to be as I pointed out 
above
 i recall a number of features having 2 tagged to the name
 UFS2 for one
 or was it FFS2
 and i think IPFW2
 its quite a common practice; sudeenly changing a major feature/system 
is just generally what makes people cry
 especially when i
