Ask them.
During last 3 weeks I tried to contact 3 (yes, three) devs. None of them
responded even with "get lost".
However, you will get far further with suggestions backed by a solid
understanding of each issue, plus funding. The benefits of a broad yet
shallow feature set can be found in most alternative operating systems and
you are welcome to use them.
Who said, it must be about new features? There is an issue, about which I
wrote already - OK, once more:
I noticed, that default path, where software from binary pkg and "ports"
gets unpacked, is /usr/local hierarchy - unfortunately, it's also the
"traditional" default of every individual source *.tar.gz package - such
way the software ported to OpenBSD gets mixed with any other package,
which I had installed. Wouldn't be reasonable to create new hierarchy,
especially for the "native" OpenBSD software (from binary packages and
ports) - I mean: something like /usr/pkg in NetBSD?
It doesn't need any funding to fix this.
It doesn't need a fix. Set LOCALBASE to whatever you like and build your
own packages. Your problem solved, everybody is happy again and more
important stuff can be done.
