I've built up a small site with a daily updated archive of kernel changes since the release of OpenBSD 3.5 and 3.4.
From this site, anyone interested in not having to use CVS (and open up holes through their firewall) to update their own local copy of the kernel source can download a small file, which updates the source to the patch branch (-stable).
The kernel update site is available on: http://openbsd.mooo.com/

why would I need to pry a hole in my firewall to run CVS?

Hope this helps bring sanity back into the house.

Indeed. If it was about security, one of the main guys (Theo, most likely) would have a cron script that downloads the checksum file from the FTP servers every so often (once an hour?) and compare it with the local copy of what it should be. Then they would be able to tell right away if their FTP server has been compromized, and changes made. Everyone downloading the whole files is comparing them with the checksum, so Theo would only have to make sure the MD5 checksum files don't change.

I'm behind a NAT, and I can use CVS just fine, thanks. No need for opening up holes.
And if you don't have a fast connection, well, cvs up doesn't use more bandwidth than necessary.
If you really don't want to download source, buy the cd's. They have all of the source code on them.
