https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D258527 Marek Zarychta <zarychtam@plan-b.pwste.edu.pl> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Severity|Affects Some People |Affects Only Me --- Comment #16 from Marek Zarychta <zarychtam@plan-b.pwste.edu.pl> --- We should all take it easy, it is a minor breakage and probably no other se= tups except mine are affected. On the other hand, the security/wpa_supplicant fr= om ports still works as intended. The QA process takes some time, the same for debugging and writing patches,= but also taking dumps and testing patches requires some time and effort includi= ng either driving tens of miles or recreating EAP/PEAP secured network in the = home lab.=20=20 I have no insight into @freebsd.org e-mail server setup, but believe it does some false positives marking messages as SPAM what makes writing direct ema= il messages a bit hopeless. The first conclusion: "no other setups are probably affected" is pretty sad= and means that FreeBSD's user base became FreeBSD's consumer base. I have repor= ted this breakage a week or two ago on the net@ mailing list and there was no feedback at all. The FreeBSD consumer base utilizes probably only RELEASEs = and cares neither for the development process nor for the quality of the upcomi= ng product. The final question which comes here is: Do we really need wpa_supplicant in= the base? I was against ftpd(8) removal which IMHO is an imminent part of the FreeBSD OS, but wpa_supplicant can be easily installed from ports. Consumers who have only WiFi access can have the package on the USB stick. Kind regards,=20 FreeBSD User --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
