If that's the behavior you see, I think _that_ is a bug: the reason
non-breaking spaces exist is so programs do not separate words at that
character (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-breaking_space). GNU fmt
respects non-breaking spaces and handles them accordingly:

~$ fmt --version | head -n1
fmt (GNU coreutils) 8.25
~$ printf " XXX\u00a0XXX XXX" | fmt -w 20

XXX XXX
XXX
~$ printf " XXX XXX XXX" | fmt -w 20

XXX
XXX XXX

Unfortunately I do not have access to an OpenBSD machine to verify
whether or not its fmt does the correct thing.

Should be libperl.so.18.0 from perl 5.24.1

http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/distrib/sets/lists/base/mi.diff?r1=1.818=1.819=h

What's the date of the snapshot you installed?

$ ftp -o- ftp://ftp3.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/amd64/base60.tgz | 
tar tzvf - | grep libperl
...
-r--r--r--  1 root bin5722739 Feb 12 12:44 ./usr/lib/libperl.so.18.0

Libperl 18?

[Bryan C. Everly]

Hi all

I have been trying to nuke and pave my daily driver's OpenBSD partition
since Feb 5. Trying to install libproxy failed on a bad major (I have 17.1
and it wants 18.0) for libperl.

I figured this was the normal behavior I have seen from time to time
running snapshots and I would just wait for the next refresh of the
snapshot. I did and I reinstalled the bad and userland tools from it but
I'm still seeing the problem.

Are we having problems with perl in the userland build?

OpenBSD's HTTPD - I can't figure out how to disable the chroot

[techay]

Hello,

I have a special use case for the HTTPD server, I would like to disable the 
chroot but can't seem to get it working correctly. Within httpd.conf, I have 
tried to set:

chroot "/" ## Instead of default which is: /var/www


root "/var/www/htdocs/web"
#root "/htdocs/web" # Disabled

location "/" {
directory {
index "index.html"
}
}



But I can't access my page until I put it back to normal (uncomment the # lines 
and remove the new ones)


Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Re: fmt replaces utf8 spaces for ascii ones

[Walter Alejandro Iglesias]

After investigating a bit I realized that what I called utf8 space is a
'nobreakspace' so it's ok fmt to replace them for ascii ones.  I made a
stupid question.  Sorry!

Hi all,

I'm looking for any freely available or commercial network simulators

And I would also like to know on what other poplar platforms/operating

As per the following thread:

Any suggestions are welcome.

OpenBSD 4.6 & 5.2: Physical Media

[Jay Hart]

I've got spare copies of 4.6 & 5.2 that I can let go.  The package includes the 
disks,
instructions, stickers, etc.

I'm asking $40 shipped for each, to the 48 States.  $55 international, shipping 
included.

Half of the NET proceeds will be donated back to OpenBSD.

Payment via PAYPAL Only!

First, "I'll take it", gets it...

Re: Can OpenBSD do mixed b/g/n mode in hostap?

Hi Stefan,

  Many thanks for that explanation! It makes sense. You're right, some
low level code is really difficult to debug!

Kind regards,
