Hi
Thanks for catgirl :)
I've just started using the packaged version, on OpenBSD -current.
This thread on ports@ suggests that I'm using catgirl v1.5:
https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=ports%40openbsd.org&q=subject:%22update+catgirl+to+1.5%22&o=newest
On startup, something emits the following to /var/log/messages:
Jan 23 14:23:09 myhost catgirl: *printf used %n: %*s%n
Which looks like a system complaint of some kind, but who knows? :)
It does sort of look like the type of thing that shouldn't be
happening. (There are multiple instances in the log: I'm not sure if
it *only* happens on startup, but it certainly does do it then.)
I don't know if it's something in my config that's causing it. I'm
happy to build from source with any debug options you point to, if
you like?
Regards,
Larry Hynes

Hi
I hope you don't think my email was a request for you to appease
anyone. (It wasn't.) I wonder if you might consider not "fixing" it
if you don't consider it to be broken? I certainly don't want any
part of a bad vibe. I'm sorry I brought it to your attention. I was
curious about the log message, not complaining or crusading.

No, that’s my fault, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to direct my disapproval
of an OpenBSD decision at you. OpenBSD is a target platform and
catgirl shouldn’t be causing strange log messages there. I appreciate
finding out about it sooner rather than later. I hope this doesn’t
turn you off from sending any other feedback in the future.
