Hello,
I am not on this mailing list and I am not able to debug the following issue.
It is just for information since a segmentation fault may be an issue on a
OpenBSD base system library. The system I am using is very old (Oct. 2016) but
ncurses likely does not have changed much since then:

installboot still fails with the latest snapshot. This time I have a dmesg:

Hello,
"cp -p" seems to not preserve the modification time of symlinks. This is not
mentioned in the man page. Other systems I tested (others BSDs and Linux) do
preserve the mtime of symlinks with e.g. "cp -a". The OpenBSD kernel also does
support to set it with e.g. utimensat(2).

I do care--I have a sync software (similar to rsync) which compares mtime and
length. lstat needs do be done anyway so there

Hello,
the DESCRIPTION section of utimes(2) refers to "path" while
the SYNOPSIS section uses the term "file". Maybe the term
"path" should be used instead of "file" in SYNOPSIS.

Thank you for this information and the test.
But it should be taken into account that this version is 6 years old, current
release is 1.9.1.

I even would be interested, but I need it for both OpenBSD *and* NetBSD. A
year ago I tried to update their pkgsrc version 1.

I think cwm had been started as evilwm elsewhere, derived as cwm from evilwm
(outside?) OpenBSD and later imported to the OpenBSD code base.

Hello,
in /usr/lib there seems to be the ncursesw library but I don't find a ncursesw
header file (expected as something like .../ncursesw/curses.h). I also don't
find a curses package to install. Is there ncursesw support for OpenBSD? I
found threads from 2010, but I'm not sure if they are

that means that with the -l option I decide which functions I use and always

Hello,
when I include a large EPS file into a PostScript file using the colorimage
command (actually done bei groff macro .PSPIC) and view this PS file with the
gv viewer it takes very long until the image is displayed. For example it takes
40 seconds until a 2 MB image is displayed on a rather
I tried to reproduce this with the EPS file an gv alone.
That did not work, i.e. it opens without delay.
Unfortunately this now becomes groff dependent.
But anyway it's also OpenBSD specific.

I had expected that that works. But that is not really comfortable and kind of
faking and overriding the uid.

I use sshfs to synchronize a filesystem of 15 GB between two machines.
Read access seems to be ok but on writing the mount point
does not seem to work anymore. Error message of cp(1) is
No such file or directory
ls(1) to the mount point gives the same message.

You could have a look in the newfs(8) manpage for the option "-O". -O 2 should
be FFS2.
