Following -current with snapshots is often suggested by the devs (it's quite stable). For -stable you can install the errata for base following https://www.openbsd.org/errata60.html https://www.openbsd.org/stable.html if you want to build but I don't think it's necessary. I'm not sure about the update procedure for packages in stable. I only use snapshots and update with pkg_add -u For stable you probably have to recompile them yourself from ports, since I see in mirror servers that they are not updated. G
