More like mentally fucked and left to run only on 2 brain cells by the time I hit compiling no.5 lol https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html release(1) 1. I'm so so sorry, I just realized that responsible things like compiling and/or mailing the openbsd lists shouldn't be done when someone's too mentally exhausted from the issue to fucking read properly... 2. I'm not 100% sure if it's a ME issue, because CVS and .tar.gz files actually differ How? I believe that in CVS the src/sys directory exists, and is a part of the src CVS repository, whereas when using verifiable .tar.gz files, the sys.tar.gz isn't in src.tar.gz... and I was stupid because I was like "what the fuck even is sys.tar.gz", then I realized it was missing, but what I didn't realize is that it was supposed to be in /usr/src/sys, not /usr/sys, so I kindof see this as an issue, like IDK if it's even mentioned somewhere that (can't verify so it's) malicious CVS and verifiable .tar.gz files are different (sys.tar.gz isn't a part of src.tar.gz by default) How did I find this out? I found this out because when I attempted to compile src, it stopped because there wasn't a src/sys directory
