Those who want to stay > close to OpenBSD on 5-Stable can then use the port. I will try to make it possible to do a cvs co -rRELENG_5 src cvs up -dA src/contrib/pf src/sys/contrib/pf and rebuild to obtain the latest version in a RELENG_5 tree. Building from a port and thus having to use pf as module is nothing I'd consider a good solution. On a sidenote: I am going to remove security/pf and security/authpf in a couple of weeks. I still see ~100 downloads per day of the *outdated* sources and want to make it a bit harder for people to use this. -- /"\ Best regards, | mlaier@freebsd.org \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBdTk9XyyEoT62BG0RAm4oAJ46QAwtUsQMv0DXDfuy+wcAGfBmwgCeKe5G qO27+yKU/hw99PNT+asU/OM= =Gbqp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
