What a fitting last file.

Reminds me of the GNU/HU(I)RD.

Is OpenBSD seriously still using CVS for development?

Jagger2097@lemmy.world on 24 Aug 2024 00:20 next collapse

They can work on replacing that next

tux0r@feddit.org on 24 Aug 2024 05:35 next collapse

Yes, it is, because it does the job. Why exactly shouldn’t they?

For example, maybe branching is something you’d like to be able to do without it being a nightmare?

tux0r@feddit.org on 24 Aug 2024 08:48 collapse

OpenBSD seems to be able to have branches (CURRENT and STABLE), and they seem to be able to manage them just fine.

CVS is the authoritative repository of code, and they recommend to users to use that or reposync (built atop of CVS) to keep their system updated.

There is also a GitHub mirror , and got is an OpenBSD project, and I suspect a number of devs use one of those for local work until it’s time to push the changes to the authoritative tree.

Yeah, that’s weird. It’s pretty unorthodox to use a pharmacy chain for development.

To be fair, they have a pufferfish as a mascot, so there’s bound to be some need for pharmaceuticals.
