ah, sorry
but when run pkg_add -a -u I must give also ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pathamd64repo/... ?

Hi Robert,
thanks for the tips.

If I give -u without parameters, it will update all system or only installed packages?

Another, it's useful read Ports ml for update and vulnerability?

Thanks in advance.

See 'man pkg_add'... the -a, -u, -n, and -i options might be of interest to you.

I use pkg_add -a -u

    Hi list,
    sorry for late, but you are talking about update, and I've a
    question about this.

    I'm installing software precompiled using pkg_add -r
    ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/....../openvpn-version.tgz

    How to see if there are update/security fix for openvpn?

>From "Ports" ml?

    Thanks in advance.

                    I not used all pervious ports, and some are used

        question to known what
        follow, in order to keep updated...

                really, in order to keep updated, following -current
                is a good policy.

            sure, updates in -current are more "fresh" ! but the
            investissement may be

        important, as it is required to upgrade the system before add
        or upgrade
        ports...

            I think I will consider installing -current on an external
            disk, in order to

        "see and learn" upgrade process (via snapshots) before
        definitively switch to
        -current on my laptop.

        You will find it very quick and easy:

        boot bsd.rd and choose (U)pgrade
        reboot
        sysmerge -s $ -x $
        maybe reboot
        check current.html for possible manual steps
        pkg_add -ui

        It's possible to have modest machine to be completely updated
        in about
        10 minutes completely binary way.

            Thanks Stuart.
