OpenBSD ports

I'm a pretty heavy OpenBSD user and since all of my software is open source I can try to fix them myself in case I run into a bug. On many occasions I find helpful upstream developers as well. It really helps to discuss issues directly with the authors and coordinate fixes. My good friend Lasse Collin has also helped me a great deal, thanks! He is the author of XZ compression utils, take a look at his site too.

My favourites are game related ports but I fix and submit for committing others too.

Ports that I maintain for OpenBSD

My current TODO:

games/

  • Get Aquaria imported (2D underwater fantasy game)
  • Get Tapan Kaikki Bloodshed imported (top view shooting game)
  • Finish the free sound collection for Abuse-SDL

x11/

  • Fix ark in kdeutils
  • Fix Gwenview's image rotating
  • Fix kioslave's sftp:// support

After those are finished I want to look at

OpenBSD base system

I usually don't touch this area. If I think I have found a bug in it, it usually turns out to be a well documented feature or something else like that.

  • config(8), make the unconditional file saving only save the kernel when it's really modified
