I have totally nothing against 3rd party USEFUL documentation. So far, that guy has written two pages that: - contain factual errors - are not even useful compared to official documentation. > Suppose I have an interest in seeing other people's information ? > If I don't want to see something, I don't have to look at it. You're also not the one getting the panicky error reports when people follow some bad advice and end up fucking up their machine. Case in point: there's a good reason why we advise to run sysmerge AFTER updating and NOT before. There's a very small chance it could fuck up, and you could end up with a machine that DOESN'T REBOOT, which is a big problem if it's located at a center. > Do you really think that you are doing any good by discouraging people? > By driving people away from actually trying to help people use OpenBSD? > And you people want people to give you money, with your kind of > attitude ??? Look, first I was helpful. Then other people pointed out that his adsuck info was a plain duplicate of what's currently in the port README, and he protested his work was useful, so I'm putting things in my own perspective. you want to help people use OpenBSD, there's a *lot* of official documentation that could be better, start contributing to *that*.
