A little more information about that. FreeBSD did a major refactoring of their /dev/urandom (etc) support, which landed in October 2014: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=273872 This kept Yarrow but also added Fortuna. You can switch between them with a kernel option. FreeBSD 10 shipped in January 2014, so clearly this rework didn't make it in. I see several references to "let's make Fortuna the default in FreeBSD 11". FreeBSD 11 hasn't shipped yet. However, the "what's new in FreeBSD 11" wiki page doesn't mention changing this default. So I don't know whether or not it's happening for 11. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27279> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
