Aaron, thank you for your feedback, and my apologies if my comments were interpreted negatively. It was not my intent to offend.
As a practical matter, I would prefer to see that information featured prominently in the documentation, rather than strongly encouraging people to rely on packages (http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html#PkgVsPorts). I don't feel that it's responsible to discourage users from using ports when doing so, along with manual backporting, is the only supported way to maintain a patched system (where -current is not appropriate).
Just my humble opinion. I fully understand the resource issue. Cheers -d -- David Talkington dt...@drizzle.com -- PGP key: http://www.flyingjoke.org/keys/801E3976.asc (What's this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signature)
