Issue after erroneous package update
Hi, I updated my packages (pkg_add -u), two of them weren't updated because they had several candidates, so I updated them manually (pkg_add -iu pkg-name). They were curl, and mozilla-firefox. curl updated ok, mozilla-firefox didn't. The error was: Can't install mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.3 because of conflicts (.libs-mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.1). For sanity, I decided to delete mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.1 and reinstall it again (pkg_delete mozilla-firefox ; pkg_add mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.1.tgz ).

Re: openbsd and the money -solutions
Please, stop wanting companies to support you. It doesn't work that way. To develop an OS under a licence like the ISC has a big hole: funding.

Even if we were to accept your pessimistic worldview that organisational gratitude is only a myth, then it is still in companies who use OpenBSD or OpenSSH interest to contribute - funding committed and internally-motivated developers to improve components of your product is far less expensive than recruiting, training, paying and providing office space for semi-motivated staff who crank out code of varying quality for financial reward alone. BTW, your linkage between the license and a lack of funding is specious, and there exist plenty of counter examples - including BSD itself. -d

Don't do that, that is extortion. If you don't want to make OpenBSD free-as-in-freedom, but not free-as-in-beer; well, there is another thing that might help.

It's not what the larger companies could do, but I'm curious if other contractors try to push donations when they utilize openbsd/openssh. All the companies I've worked with have been fairly receptive. I work for a startup that simply would not exist without OpenSSH. AFAIK, they have never donated a penny, the excuse being, we will once we turn a profit. But, if they do, will they really donate? Or will they be too busy counting the dollars. The recent messages by Damien and Theo are great for forwarding to bosses and marketing and PR. Thanks for those; that's what I'll do with them. That said, I think a wall of shame page on the OpenSSH site might be a good idea: one listing all those big companies mentioned that have never donated a dime.

Deletion of indirectly -installed packages (dependencies)
Hi, I want to know if there are any plans to support the deletion of indirectly -installed packages (dependencies). What I want I'm trying to say, is, for example, when one adds package FOO, and that package has tons of dependencies, and one then deletes it, we didn't uninstall all the dependencies. I know it isn't simple, one must first have a way to say: hey, I'm a package who was added by a user, I wasn't added just to serve a package you deleted!!, and then check if the dependency is used by any package. Also, it should always ask if we want to delete that dependecy, maybe someone starts using it directly instead of using the package which needed it to be added. But, IMHO, it would be nice, =). Help you understand me, good luck

Can't make sound working well
Hi, I have a problem with making sound work under OpenBSD. I have already read the FAQ, but not luck with those, :P. Here are all the datails: I'm using OpenBSD 3.8, i386 platform. My motherboard is a SY-P4VGM one. http://www.soyousa.com/products/proddesc.php?id=273 My chip (VT8233) is supported. http://www.openbsd.org/i386.html My sound system is a 2.1 one. audioctl -a output: name=VIA VT8233 version= config=auvia encodings=ulinear:8,mulaw:8*,alaw:8*,slinear:8*,slinear_le:16,ulinear_le:16*,slinear_be:16*,ulinear_be:16* properties=full_duplex,mmap,independent full_duplex=0 fullduplex=0 blocksize=416 hiwat=157 lowat=117 monitor_gain=0 mode= play.rate=8000 play.channels=1 play.precision=8 play.encoding=mulaw play.gain=127 play.balance=32 play.port=0x0 play.avail_ports=0x0 play.seek=0 play.samples=0 play.eof=0 play.pause=0 play.error=0 play.waiting=0 play.open=0 play.active=0 play.buffer_size=65536 record.rate=8000 record.channels=1 record.precision=8 record.encoding=mulaw record.gain=191 record.balance=32 record.port=0x1 record.avail_ports=0x7 record.seek=0 record.samples=0 record.eof=0 record.pause=0 record.error=0 record.waiting=0 record.open=0 record.active=0 record.buffer_size=65536 record.errors=0 dmesg.boot content: OpenBSD 3.8 (GENERIC) #138: Sat Sep 10 15:41:37 MDT 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.50GHz (GenuineIntel 686-class) 2.50 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF,CNXT-ID real mem = 502837248 (491052K) avail mem = 451833856 (441244K) using 4278 buffers containing 25243648 bytes (24652K) of memory mainbus0 (root) bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+(2e) BIOS, date 10/21/03, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfb240 apm0 at bios0: Power Management spec V1.2 apm0: AC on, battery charge unknown apm0: flags 70102 dobusy 1 doidle 1 pcibios0 at bios0: rev 2.1 @ 0xf/0xdf44 pcibios0: PCI IRQ Routing Table rev 1.0 @ 0xfdeb0/144 (7 entries) pcibios0: PCI Exclusive IRQs: 5 11 12 pcibios0: PCI Interrupt Router at 000:17:0 (VIA VT82C596A ISA rev 0x00) pcibios0: PCI bus #1 is the last bus bios0: ROM list: 0xc/0xc000 cpu0 at mainbus0 pci0 at mainbus0 bus 0: configuration mode 1 (no bios) pchb0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 VIA VT8751 PCI rev 0x00 ppb0 at pci0 dev 1 function 0 VIA VT8633 AGP rev 0x00 pci1 at ppb0 bus 1 vga1 at pci1 dev 0 function 0 S3 ProSavage DDR rev 0x00 wsdisplay0 at vga1 mux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation) wsdisplay0: screen 1-5 added (80x25, vt100 emulation) vendor Acer Labs, unknown product 0x5459 (class communications subclass modem, rev 0x00) at pci0 dev 9 function 0 not configured uhci0 at pci0 dev 16 function 0 VIA VT83C572 USB rev 0x80: irq 11 usb0 at uhci0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0 at usb0 uhub0: VIA UHCI root hub, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered uhci1 at pci0 dev 16 function 1 VIA VT83C572 USB rev 0x80: irq 5 usb1 at uhci1: USB revision 1.0 uhub1 at usb1 uhub1: VIA UHCI root hub, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub1: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered uhci2 at pci0 dev 16 function 2 VIA VT83C572 USB rev 0x80: irq 12 usb2 at uhci2: USB revision 1.0 uhub2 at usb2 uhub2: VIA UHCI root hub, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub2: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered ehci0 at pci0 dev 16 function 3 VIA VT6202 USB rev 0x82: irq 11 usb3 at ehci0: USB revision 2.0 uhub3 at usb3 uhub3: VIA EHCI root hub, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub3: 6 ports with 6 removable, self powered pcib0 at pci0 dev 17 function 0 VIA VT8235 ISA rev 0x00 pciide0 at pci0 dev 17 function 1 VIA VT82C571 IDE rev 0x06: ATA133, channel 0 configured to compatibility, channel 1 configured to compatibility wd0 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: SAMSUNG SV0221N wd0: 16-sector PIO, LBA48, 19130MB, 39179952 sectors wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 5 atapiscsi0 at pciide0 channel 1 drive 0 scsibus0 at atapiscsi0: 2 targets cd0 at scsibus0 targ 0 lun 0: ATAPI, CD-RW CW5201, 210C SCSI0 5/cdrom removable cd0(pciide0:1:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 2 auvia0 at pci0 dev 17 function 5 VIA VT8233 AC97 rev 0x50: irq 12 ac97: codec id 0x56494161 (VIA Technologies VT1612A) ac97: codec features headphone, 18 bit DAC, 18 bit ADC, KS Waves 3D audio0 at auvia0 vr0 at pci0 dev 18 function 0 VIA RhineII-2 rev 0x74: irq 11 address 00:50:2c:a2:51:aa ukphy0 at vr0 phy 1: Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface ukphy0: OUI 0x004063, model 0x0032, rev. 8 isa0 at pcib0 isadma0 at isa0 pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60/5 pckbd0 at pckbc0 (kbd slot) pckbc0: using irq 1 for kbd slot wskbd0 at pckbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0 pcppi0 at isa0 port 0x61 midi0 at pcppi0: PC speaker spkr0 at pcppi0 sysbeep0 at pcppi0 lpt0 at isa0 port 0x378/4 irq 7 it0 at isa0 port 0x290/8: IT87 npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0/16: using exception 16 pccom0 at isa0 port 0x3f8/8 irq 4: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo pccom1 at isa0 port 0x2f8/8 irq 3: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo fdc0 at isa0 port 0x3f0/6 irq 6 drq 2 fd0
KBD(8) mapping question should accept L as an alternative for ?
I use the es mapping, but when I install OpenBSD ? key /doesn't
work/ (cause I don't mapped my keyboard yet), which is ok. I know why
this happens, I can configure the keyboard because I already know
where ? is, but someone may try to search for it if he/she doesn't,
:P.
So, I suggest the following:
KBD(8) mapping? ('?' for list) [none]
should change to something like:
KBD(8) mapping? ('?' or 'L' for list) [none]
Hope you understood me, English is not my language, :P
