Nope. It sounds like exactly that for which I was looking. I couldn't (or rather, didn't) find it because I thought the indented bits under the Tarsnap label were telling me which things were included on the page I was on. I know, for example, that I saw News there.. and also News included just above the fold of the page I was on.

In fact, I suppose realized later that they were sub-menu items. When I went to the Design page and clicked on the Security link, I recognized that the menu on the left changed. I'm pretty sure it would not have occurred to me to click on them directly, however.

I spent maybe 90 seconds trying to find info about your work and the company, unsuccessfully. I don't know if this is, in any way, useful feedback. I mostly seem to be pointing out my inadequacies as a user, not providing any solutions to my so-called problems.

FreeBSD isn't unique in having packaging metadata

I looked on the Download page and expected to be told (especially around the time you mention that BSD systems usually have the OpenSSL header files already installed) that I could also find it in sysutils/tarsnap.

I hope my comment proves more helpful than it appears from my end.

Aha, that explains it. I did the menus this way because I (a) wanted to avoid javascript, and (b) thought it looked good -- but if it's confusing people I'd better see if I can find a different way of presenting the menu structure.

Good point. Yeah, I should look at revising this page to point people at OS-specific instructions first, with the full install-from-autoconfed-source instructions only as a fallback for systems where I don't have special instructions.

Thanks for the feedback!
