That would be inconvenient. It helps the release(8) process that the base system - https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/src/ - is a stand-alone repository. Reacharound to the www repository doesn't strike me as desirable. Remember that the release(8) process is also followed for snapshot builds, which are done often on multiple architectures. Keeping that process as simple as possible and requiring as few dependencies as possible really helps development and avoids annoying distractions for developers. Besides, the FAQ only applies to -stable and not to -current, so installing it on a -current system would be badly misleading. And we certainly don't want the release(8) process to work differently for -current and -stable: -current is where most of the testing for -stable gets done, so it should better be as similar as possible or we would be in for surprises at release time, or even worse, for surprises after release. > Or maybe it's there but I could't find it: > > oc@OpenBSD:~$ find /usr/share/ -iname *faq.txt* > oc@OpenBSD:~$ No, it isn't there. But you can easily find it elsewhere and download it to any place where you need it. Yours, Ingo
