Hello Henning, I wasn't aware that I need permission to continue a thread. Excuse me for my missunderstanding, but think I'm not involved in the release and compile procedures. If you don't like to answer, please don't. As a matter of fact, most of list users preffer to joke and to write something else, usually off- topic. Like some of you want to cover something and move away from the real answer.
Ok, no problem. I know I'm far from knowing about OpenBSD, but I'm trying. That's why I'm not polluting the other "technical" lists with my questions. So I jumped in misc, but I see now there are some "what to ask and what not to" rules. Didn't know until now there are tabu questions. You said sometimes a new kernel must be throw in for a quick test. Is it so time consuming to generate the sha256 for this new kernel, too ? Note please that I'm not judge the process or the developers, I'm just asking. Forget about atomic thing in ftp servers, I got it right some time ago, without help. I was able to see this looking at the files date: it is updated at each refresh if the server is in an update process. I really don't know why developers are so jumpy when it comes about a question. I know, computer things are time consuming, if you feel you don't have the time please don't bother to answer. Maybe some other people know the issue and they have some time to explain. Not to me only, to the list. Bytheway, did you figure out why this cksum thing is comming over and over - because it was not explained from the first time. And it is not clear even now. Maybe some of user will eventually get a clue glueing all the answer scattered on this list and FAQ. Thanks
