Oh ... forgot about that ... there are several problems with that. First of all RELENG_6 is missing the interface group infrastructure which is essential to pf now.

There is some work going on in OpenBSD 4.2 to reduce userland ABI changes in the future, but for now updating pf means breaking ABIs means no MFC unfortunately. -- /"\ 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 v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBGk4eMXyyEoT62BG0RAkz/AJ9SANVEvb/S/ELGkp62EyqAqwlC2gCeKZtB 03TEFA6KxpUuFefrEDM5kCs= =Io9k -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
