ohh, just had a sleep and missed great propagated, essential improvements.

No one cares 'bout design.
No one wants to sell something with eyecandy.
No one wants to do the work
For what? Worldpeace? Annoying, bored L1nux users with limited reading

In fact of telling people what THEY should/could do better: Do it or...
There are enough people in the world who have great visions for other people.

over 50% of my monitor covered in white margins.

The OpenBSD website fills my monitor with lots of information.  The idea

because the assembly is written for amd64.

trunk0, inet6 , pf rules

2012-06-27 Thread Bogdan Andu
Hello,

I have a service listening both on inet and inet6 sockets, so I have inet6 
traffic going in to that service


Because I have trunk0 setup, a rule like:

(3) pass in inet6 proto tcp to port $service_port queue services


does not solves the problem, because only few packets and sometimes no packet 
at all is able to pass.

because according to tcpdump the ipv6 client keeps sending inet6 SYN packets 
without the server to reply to this packets, and the handshake times out.

I have to prepend these two rules to the rule set:

(1) pass on trunk0 inet6
(2) pass on $ext_if proto ipv6

in order to fix the problem.

Is there a control mechanism as I see that the rule (1) is matched by 
misterious packets in case of inet6 traffic,
when the inet6 service is accessed, and rule(2) not at all, and finally rule(3) 
matches because is more specific than rule(1)?
Without a rule like rule (3), rule (1) would match all inet6 traffic.

What reprezent those misterious inet6 packets, and what is the explanation 
rules (1) and (2)?

I only understand the fact that in case of tunnel interface(like the example in 
the manual), or in my case trunk interface, inet6 functionality must be enabled 
at the trunk pseudo-device level as well as physical interface level, although 
$ext_if expands to trunk0, also. If trunk0 is an aggregation of two physical 
interfaces bge0 and bge1, is the physical interface , bge0, automatically 
provisioned with ipv6 functionality, if we specify these rules? If 
$ext_if=bge0 and no trunk0 interface created, the rules (1) and (2) wouldn't 
be needed anymore because bge0 would have been automatically configured for 
inet6 traffic? So we need rules (1) and (2) in trunk setup to obtain the same 
behaviour?


Please if someone could explain the importance of rule (1) and rule (2).

Re: Romanian layout in OpenBSD

2012-06-27 Thread Claudiu Tanaselia
Hi Paul,

Nice to see other gyp^H^H^HRomanians around here.

I don't know why I chose UTF-16, it was just to make sure everybody
knew what characters I was referring to. Could have been UTF-8 as
well, just a bad pick from my part.

Thanks for your input, I'll need some time to digest and understand
all your settings (still testing things out and still learning).

For the time being, I'm using Xfce with its own keyboard layout
options and works great for my Office-like text editor needs, but if
I'll ever change my desktop manager, I'll have to find some more
general approaches, like you suggested. Thought as wscons as the most
general approach to Romanian special characters, but you're right,
it's not like someone's using them outside X anyway.

Thanks!
Claudiu.

 That's because gysies use dvorak layout.

 problem is fixable (at least locally if not in future releases), but
 I'll need your help, since I'm new to OpenBSD.

 I do the following:

 LC_CTYPE=ro_RO.UTF-8

 in my .profile and then

 XTerm*Font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1
 XTerm*eightBitInput: true
 XTerm*locale: true
 XTerm*utf8: 1

 in my .Xdefaults and then my XCompose looks like this:

-
---
 #include %L

 Multi_key period            : ă   U0103
 Multi_key greater           : Ă   U0102
 Multi_key a                 : â   UE2
 Multi_key A                 : Â   UC2
 Multi_key i                 : î   UEE
 Multi_key I                 : Î   UCE

 # Cedilla versions
 #Multi_key t                        : ţ   U0163
 #Multi_key T                        : Ţ   U0162
 #Multi_key s                        : ş   U015F
 #Multi_key S                        : Ş   U015E

 # Comma versions
 Multi_key t                 : ț   U021B
 Multi_key T                 : Ț   U021A
 Multi_key s                 : ș   U0219
 Multi_key S                 : Ș   U0218

-
---

 After you set-up all of this start a new xterm and cat .XCompose.

 You should see the proper characters for both cedilla and comma
 versions.

 Probably I have to start with wsconsctl, but I'm not sure how to use
 this tool to remap my keyboard. Basically, the following characters
 addition and adjustment of the us layout is needed (encoding is
 UTF-16):

 Hahahah, right... UTF-16 hahahaha. Forget about that.
 That's a Windowsism that even the Microsoft fans want to get rid of.

 UTF-8 is the standard in the rest of the civilised world.

 I'm not sure what's the state with wscons and terms, miod might shed
 some light into that. But I don't think you want to use those in a non-X
 environment and for that my tricks above should suffice.

Yes.  There's no filters in place on the mailing list to prevent

If someone's serious about wanting to propose a website refresh, then
go for it.  Check out the www subdirectory from CVS, copy it to your

prepared for feedback.  If it's just as functional as now and isn't
any more work to maintain going forward, then it stands a chance to
get committed.

Well, most of the comments on this thread are from people who don't

Of course, you can do anything you wish.
No one is EXPECTING quality diffs, for our definition of quality, and 
therefore, waiting would be silly.  But...if someone shows us something 
that is a REAL improvement and not just window dressing, or moving stuff 
for the sake of moving stuff, I'm sure we'd look at it.


Most of what we've seen in the past has been AT BEST, shuffling things 
around to be more aesthetically pleasing to the one doing the shuffling, 
and indifferent to most of the rest of us.  Maybe that says something 
about us, but have you actually LOOKED at any OpenBSD developers lately? 
  Provinding visual pleasure is NOT our strong point!


The ones that get our attention are the ones that say, here, I 
redesigned a few pages of your website, what do you think?  We 
(obviously) haven't seen one that made us think, Wow, that's what we 
need to do!, but it shows someone cared enough to put some work behind 
their words.


Others in this thread have described what would need to be maintained in 
any improvement.  Let me add (as I don't think it was mentioned), 
static pages, managed by CVS, able to be mirrored by anyone, publicly or 
privately.  Multiple rendering options would be nice. Oh, and we need to 
keep support for translations to other languages.


Keep in mind, I don't think anyone in the project sees any major 
PROBLEMS with the current website desing, so you must not break 
anything that developers like right now.  This will be difficult.


The most interesting suggestion I've heard was to switch to mdoc-based 
source, then use that to generate html.  Note the lack of any cool HTML 
buzzwords in that statement (and the end goal would be to end up with 
something that looks and feels very similar to the current site, so I'm 
sure the suggestions to improve the design would continue), but this 
might actually IMPROVE things for developers (saner layout language, 
known by virtually all the developers) hopefully leading to better 
consistency for readers, and a bunch of other wild ideas that I'm not 
ready to talk about publicly yet.  Maybe one of those Lottery e-mails 
I keep getting will turn out to be true, allowing me to devote more time 
to this. :)


Something about doing a
  .Xr cat 1
instead of the monstrosity which is a man page link currently is just SO 
bloomin' attractive to me...

Your need is not quite standard.  There's the ISC everything including

For the X keyboard settings, you can use setxkbmap. Just add the
correct command to your .xinitrc. I'm using a interchangable layout with
caps lock key for spanish/english keyboard but you can change the
layouts to your needs.

- Search the correct layouts in /usr/X11R6/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst
- Add to your .xinitrc:
  - If you only need one layout: setxkbmap -layout es
  - If you need various variants: setxkbmap -layout es, us -variant 
, altgr-intl -option grp:caps_toggle

You also can use the file xorg.conf for the settings but with
setxkbmap+xinitrc each user can have a different config. The XFCE
configuration tool is a frontend for the Xorg options.

 Thought as wscons as the most general approach to Romanian special
 characters, but you're right, it's not like someone's using them
 outside X anyway.

 Talk is cheap.

I'm willing to indirectly donate to OpenBSD by paying a professional graphic 
designer to redo parts of OpenBSD's visual design. His portfolio:

  www.flexstudio.ch

Richard is a very good friend but still your typical starving artist with bills 
to pay. I did this before for other friends' businesses who loved it.

No one is EXPECTING quality diffs, for our definition of quality, and 
therefore, waiting would be silly.  But...if someone shows us something 
that is a REAL improvement and not just window dressing, or moving stuff 
for the sake of moving stuff, I'm sure we'd look at it.

Graphic design is about communication, it's a means to an end, whatever gets in 
the way is a problem. Why you fail to get your message across doesn't matter -- 
OpenBSD's current anachronistic design or Wired-mag type sensory overload. 
Gimmicks like CSS, Javascript, Flash or whatever are a problem more often than 
not. Richard will argue that more than one color, in addition to black  white, 
is a distraction (and that Vision Street Wear copied the Swastika).

It took me _years_ to understand and respect that graphic design isn't all that 
subjective, that it's a craft, with harmonic rules similar to music, and that a 
programmer has as little credibility questioning his skill than him questioning 
mine. There's a ~5% window I can argue why something he did is counter-message

Despite some of the rhetoric (comments) on the list about the suggestion, I'm 
sure a sharp design (with a clean implementation) would be appreciated. The 
problem is that opinions on what is appropriate will vary. 

IIRC, Theo did the current design himself after everyone else failed to come up 
with something good. 

And as many have said, there's plenty of actual improvements to be made that 
have nothing to do with graphic design.

Yet, I have to agree the current design is showing its age.

sorry but that's complete bs. you are essentially expecting users to

As usual in the roff world, pick your favourite macro package.

In all seriousness without malice (well maybe a little), I don't think
anybody really cares if a person doesn't choose an OS because of
lacking aesthetic web design. If they don't look for more beyond that,
then I doubt they'd stick with it after the installation process and
frankly who gives a shit ?
 This entire discussion just reminds me of the upcoming generation and
how clueless they are. Let them have their ubuntu and frameworks
without any understanding or desire to know anything more than the
frameworks they use -  good riddance, don't let the door hitcha !

Once upon a time, newbies read RFC's man pages, engaged on irc, needed
to join mailing lists for assistance.. now, they don't have to worry
about learning to make build world, compiling a kernel, hardware, or
configuring X, it's all done for them and it's sad that is what they
expect or I'm not using it since it doesn't do everything for me. At
least 10 years ago, you were forced to dive in and get to know your OS
but really the difference between this generation and that is the fact
that we were passionate about learning more and understanding the
difference between BSD flavors or Linux distros, not just the

  Those browsers are violating the HTTP/1.1 standard.  RFC 2616, section
  3.7.1, paragraph 4:
 
The charset parameter is used with some media types to define the
character set (section 3.4) of the data. When no explicit charset
parameter is provided by the sender, media subtypes of the text
type are defined to have a default charset value of ISO-8859-1 when
received via HTTP. Data in character sets other than ISO-8859-1 or
its subsets MUST be labeled with an appropriate charset value. See
section 3.4.1 for compatibility problems.

 firefox and ie are nice enough to assume iso-8859-1. that's not the
 case with management configured browsers, where RFCs don't mean a damn

 
 
  And then there's section 3.4.1:
 
  3.4.1 Missing Charset
 
Some HTTP/1.0 software has interpreted a Content-Type header without
charset parameter incorrectly to mean recipient should guess.
Senders wishing to defeat this behavior MAY include a charset
parameter even when the charset is ISO-8859-1 and SHOULD do so when
it is known that it will not confuse the recipient.
 
Unfortunately, some older HTTP/1.0 clients did not deal properly with
an explicit charset parameter. HTTP/1.1 recipients MUST respect the
charset label provided by the sender; and those user agents that have
a provision to guess a charset MUST use the charset from the
content-type field if they support that charset, rather than the
recipient's preference, when initially displaying a document. See
section 3.7.1.
 
 
  Wait, was that a warning that an explicit charset parameter broke some
  older browsers?  Huh...

 wtf? a charset parameter is present in www/index.html so i guess that
 particular page isn't catering to an unrealistic section of an rfc

 i sense some conflicting interests here

It should go without saying (after everything that's already been said), but

for www.openbsd.org, technical prowess (clean and concise implementation) is
more important than graphic design skills.


Agreed.


If they can't do both, then a new template isn't even worth attempting.


Disagreed. Compare the dispatching of tasks in OpenBSD itself; there are

different experts for different areas. Vertical vs horizontal.


Anyway I'm done with this thread; Ted put it quite clearly. I don't have a

major problem with the web site other than I almost dismissed OpenBSD because
the site and docs feel 10 years old. Free- and NetBSD looked much nicer but
after I saw actual usage stats I gave OpenBSD a 2nd look and forced myself
past the floppy/tape references and found OpenBSD's philosophy which just made
sense.


In other circumstances I might have missed OpenBSD entirely, so I

instinctively don't like those red herrings, but I really don't know if more
public attention would make OpenBSD a better system. Linux's example seems to
show it just goes from bad to worse.

In all seriousness without malice (well maybe a little), I don't think
anybody really cares if a person doesn't choose an OS because of
lacking aesthetic web design. If they don't look for more beyond that,
then I doubt they'd stick with it after the installation process and
frankly who gives a shit ?
  This entire discussion just reminds me of the upcoming generation and
how clueless they are. Let them have their ubuntu and frameworks
without any understanding or desire to know anything more than the
frameworks they use -  good riddance, don't let the door hitcha !

Once upon a time, newbies read RFC's man pages, engaged on irc, needed
to join mailing lists for assistance.. now, they don't have to worry
about learning to make build world, compiling a kernel, hardware, or
configuring X, it's all done for them and it's sad that is what they
expect or I'm not using it since it doesn't do everything for me. At
least 10 years ago, you were forced to dive in and get to know your OS
but really the difference between this generation and that is the fact
that we were passionate about learning more and understanding the
difference between BSD flavors or Linux distros, not just the
aesthetics of the website.

I liked the internet better when it was much smaller !





I don't think an entire generation of whipper snappers is standing on 
your lawn, maybe just a few of them.

that patch is not a solution

a good solution is use m4 or another macro language (maybe cpp since
apparently line-based macro languages are liked by mandoc freaks) to
add an include to all pages in the www/* repository

also, a commit hook that ensures that newly added or modified pages
meet a set of requirements
