The FreeBSD port of Sage is well advanced, so once that is done I see no large problems to get it to work on OpenBSD. I am not sure about privsep - so some pointers there could be useful. I *really* want Sage to run on top of OpenBSD since it offers some special malloc mode where each allocation is mmaped and after free() munmapped. So each "use after free" results in a segfault ;) This might not sound like fun to most people, but it is a great way to make Sage and its components more robust and catch a whole new set of potential bugs hiding in the code. I know that that special mmap mode eats loads of RAM, but I have the hardware locally to run OpenBSD with plenty of it. <SNIP> > Adam Cheers, Michael --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
