Frequently Asked Questions

• Which architectures does LBSD support?
• Since 5.9, both amd64 and i386 are supported.
• Is LibertyBSD FSF-approved?
• We're going through the process to be approved as FSDG-compliant.
• So what about security updates?
• You can find patches here. You can manually compile and apply the patches yourself, if you want.
  Or you could use syspatch. Whatever floats your boat.
• Where are the man pages?
• In 5.6, man-pages were excluded-- but since then, they've been included by default. We've added on to them, even! free-software(7) and fsdg(7), specifically.
• Where can I contact you, or get some help?
• You can write to /f/libertybsd at raddle.me (you're certain to get a response there), the #libertybsd IRC channel at irc.freenode.net (almost certain to get a response, if a tad delayed), or /r/libertybsd at reddit.com (unlikely to get a response there).
  If it's a more private matter, you can e-mail Jaidyn .
• Cool, whatever. Where's the sauce, mate?
• You can find the patched source-code in your local FTP/HTTP mirror under 'src.tar.gz', 'sys.tar.gz', and 'xenocara.tar.gz'. If you want the scripts used to patch it, you'll find those over at the git repo."
• Aha! I've foudn something non-free in LibertyBSD!
• Impressive eyes you've got there! Contact us right away, please! (According to me, you deserve a GNU buck. ;))
• I have a problem with LBSD. Can I use the OpenBSD mailing list?
• You really shouldn't! LibertyBSD might be a simple downstream, but it does have modifications-- so you shouldn't report bugs unless replicated in OpenBSD, or ask for help. Don't bother them, please! Instead, bother us. We'll help you the best we can. ;)
• Where's the ports tree? Package repo?
• They're in your mirror's directory for your version-- under 'packages' for the repo, and 'ports.tar.gz' for the ports tree. (The ports tree and repo are pure and squeaky-clean, by the way~)
