Re: OpenBSD site

Knowing OpenBSD philosophy, you should probably NOT expect a CMS :).

But you don't need to guess when you can check for yourself - all the sources are available for an anonymous CVS as described in [1].

You can easily have an up-to-date local copy on your machine by first reading manual pages on cvs(1), httpd(8) and httpd.conf(5) and then doing something like (as root):

# mkdir -p /var/www/htdocs/openbsd
# cd /var/www/htdocs/openbsd
# cvs -qd anoncvs@anoncvs.ca.openbsd.org:/cvs checkout -P www

and adding the following section to /etc/httpd.conf:

server "openbsd-doc" {
listen on * port 81
root "/htdocs/openbsd/www"
}

and enabling httpd:

# rcctl enable httpd

After that, navigate to http://localhost:81 and enjoy browsing an offline copy of OpenBSD website.
