status debian/openbsd



There are several indications that openbsd's security is more or
less up to the level what can be achived with todays debian
gnu/linux.

The kernel code seems to have severe race conditions and the
userspace seems to be bitten by a compareable number of security
incidents as e.g. a stabel debian with a correspondig software
base.

Since my reason for this port is primary to provide a more secure
environment for debian users with the same feel, right now this
port seems not to be worthwhile. 

OpenBSD seems to make efforts to change to elf binary format some
time in the future. When this happend and the audit efforts show
further results i will reevaluate the situation. 

Everyone who wants to carry on with this port is welcome to take
over.
