(In reply to Matt A. Tobin from comment #99)
A days prior as well..

Feb 25 07:41:42 <NewTobinParadigm> Moonchild: I am not at all willing to wo=
rk
with any BSD without a commitment from them to actually work with us. I also
want to remove ALL BSD support from gre as it stands today and have THEM add
BACK support in a more proper way ala SunOS.. The issues of Pale Moon brand=
ing
is no longer my public consern but they shall not have any permission to use
BinOC branding and associated applications. Put their fuckin money where th=
eir
mouth is=20
Feb 25 07:41:42 <NewTobinParadigm> and re-do freebsd support from the groun=
d up
or fuck off and die like the communists they are.
Feb 25 07:42:45 <NewTobinParadigm> In my opinion, OlCe1 has already proven =
to
not be a serious contender for this endeavor. Someone else must lead this
charge. Someone who is reasonable.
Feb 25 07:43:27 <Moonchild> Oh I agree. I'm just still probing to see what's
going on.
Feb 25 07:43:41 <NewTobinParadigm> i figured you would for the most part.
Feb 25 07:43:57 <NewTobinParadigm> Just wanted to make sure there was a cur=
rent
crystallized statement from me.
Feb 25 07:44:07 <Moonchild> And he himself said he's not sure whether all t=
he
BSD code paths are even necessary, so that aligns exactly with what you wou=
ld
want.
Feb 25 07:44:29 <Moonchild> But I'm not pouring all that out in one go. I h=
ave
to know details from them.
Feb 25 07:45:00 <NewTobinParadigm> I believe they once were .. 15 years ago=
..
in general i think that is true and our plans to prefer XP_UNIX except wher=
e it
is necessary to get more specific is a good one for our general stability a=
nd
code clarity
Feb 25 07:45:15 <Moonchild> Yup
Feb 25 07:45:48 <NewTobinParadigm> take the Tobin Factor out of the equation
and it rings of actually being fair and proper to all unixes I think
Feb 25 07:45:48 <Moonchild> I'm just letting them know a compromise and BSD
support in our tree is possible -- but haven't said anything about HOW that=
's
going to be done.
Feb 25 07:46:06 <NewTobinParadigm> except mac :P
Feb 25 07:46:10 <NewTobinParadigm> which is fake-unix=20
Feb 25 07:46:14 <Moonchild> Mac can fuck off
Feb 25 07:46:17 <Moonchild> so can OpenBsd
Feb 25 07:46:40 <Moonchild> i will ONLY support freeBSD because all the oth=
er
ones have been excessively hostile
Feb 25 07:47:01 <NewTobinParadigm> i'd be willing to facilitate openbsd if =
one
person one user was man enough to do their best and not get railroaded by t=
heir
bsdpeers
Feb 25 07:47:01 <Moonchild> not in the least by keeping dragging in that one
openBSD github issue -every-fucking-where-they-could
Feb 25 07:47:07 <Moonchild> and that was unnecessary
Feb 25 07:47:16 <Moonchild> No, OpenBSD can fuck off
Feb 25 07:47:22 <Moonchild> I will not have it after that
Feb 25 07:47:47 <Moonchild> and they are being special snowflakes anyway th=
at
will require a lot of extra complexity. just look at the code in our tree.
Feb 25 07:47:54 <Moonchild> so no, it's not feasible
Feb 25 07:48:08 <NewTobinParadigm> openbsd has some very strange oddities
internal to them that freebsd doesn't=20
Feb 25 07:48:10 <NewTobinParadigm> i do know that
Feb 25 07:49:32 <NewTobinParadigm> it is such a shame that xp users have ru=
ined
the "xp" designation cause to me "xp" as cross platform is so important to =
me
Feb 25 07:50:32 <athenian200> Yeah, I don't think we should support OpenBSD
under any circumstances. Sorry I've not been paying much attention lately, =
been
focused on the news a lot.
Feb 25 07:50:55 <Moonchild> it's fine.
Feb 25 07:51:09 <NewTobinParadigm> three core libs that must never be system
imo for us is nspr nss and libpng the rest is negotiable as I see it though=
 the
bar for justification remains high
Feb 25 07:51:28 <NewTobinParadigm> unless you can think of one
Feb 25 07:51:32 <NewTobinParadigm> likely cairo as well
Feb 25 07:51:46 <Moonchild> cairo was fucked over recently too
Feb 25 07:51:52 <NewTobinParadigm> I remember
Feb 25 07:52:12 <NewTobinParadigm> and it will never be solved because of t=
he
way Mozilla has bypassed fucked up code paths
Feb 25 07:52:32 <Moonchild> exactly
Feb 25 07:53:19 <NewTobinParadigm> luckily if freebsd gets their shit toget=
her
they should be less anxious about the netscape libs.. cause since we got
nss-gyp we can keep pace with esr at the very least.. they can't arguge with
that and hold water
