But you’ve done nothing but calling me names nonstop,
I owe you an apology then, and the developers and users who may have
read my ramblings.
then complaining when people do the same to you. You’re a hypocrite,
but you clearly don’t realize that, because you keep saying that
“you’re cool” and “you don’t want to go further” while doing totally
the opposite.
So calling names is bad and provokes the same, exactly why I was
avoiding reading these parts and intentionally not responding to
the insults targeted at me.
Last night was too late for me, sorry. I thought I finished posting too
and Marc tempted me to explain myself.
There is an official FAQ especially targeted to Linux users, I am a Linux
user, I found some difference between the systems which is not in the FAQ, I
thought it could be useful to add a line about it. Period. If that difference
is better or worse, I don’t discuss it, only you do.
Most have used Linux at some point, I did too. Comparing a
re-install rolling release distributions, there is a different
methodology to keep up to date.
I was trying to suggest the whole time that following snapshots
installation and keeping packages updated is the easiest way to achieve
the Linux like rolling release and it does not involve any
recompilation and is fairly easy and straight forward process ideal for
a newcomer or Linux user trying out OpenBSD fresh.
This gives a very low overhead always current state of both base OS and
additional packages. In fact you may not have to install the ports tree
to stay up to date.
As for following stable and current, those would inevitable require
recompilation at some points, which has their own FAQ documents, so
there is no need to complicate the migration FAQ except point to these
FAQs.
Why did you have to mention binary patches at all? It is obvious there
are no such things, but does this belong in the migration FAQ? When
pkg_add -u (updating packages) is exactly the equivalent of a package
manager updates in Linux.
I felt the con point in your publication was a bit unfair and could
scare Linux people away, if they are neither advance in Linux, nor
FreeBSD and obviously new to OpenBSD.
In fact I consider that I got finally settled on a proper upgrade
system just when I got into OpenBSD on a daily basis some many years
ago.
but treat me with a little respect.
OK, once again, I sincerely want to apologise for the disrespect. I
tend to forget not everyone has a thick skin like I've developed online.
