BSDNow Episode 094: Builder's Insurance

Contributed by tbert on from the whats-french-for-twofer dept.

On this week's episode of BSDNow, Marc Espie (espie@) talks about dpb, OpenBSD's distributed package builder, which runs the binary package builds in Theo's basement. He talks about why it came about, the security measures built in, and the minimalistic and works-out-of-the-box configuration, among other things.

The hosts also talk about their experiences at the recent BSDCan, and, ss usual, they have the roundup of the news, big and small, in the world of all things BSD.

    I'm very much saddened about undeadly.

    It's not as if I didn't post umpteen messages to ports and tech about those changes before the interview, or talked about it in dedicated channels. But nope, no editor picked it up until after this interview aired...

        If you want to be impressed, the CVSweb shows every bit of progress. And into the entire source code tree, show me more please, I want to study this.

        It is a matter of consistency, everyone could post a message or two like me, but consider if you can do this for 20 years.

      Marc, you're a great friend, don't worry everything will unwind down at the right time. Please show us OpenBSD comarades some Perl mastery.
