On the contrary, Warner, on the contrary. This is a lot of work to do, and by doing this, we are going to send a clear message that OpenBSD is welcome to share the ports tree with us. As long as we don't change clearly FreeBSD-centric things to use BSD, I would think most of the ports tree will be happily compilable on OpenBSD too. Satoshi
