Hi,

I am new to OpenBSD and after 15 years of work with linux i find OpenBSD as 
very refreshing experience among bloated server software platforms, so guys 
thanks for that. 

My questions is about updating packages using pkg_add -u , i am kind of 
confused about how it works. 
Example: In 6.1 there is package openvpn-2.4.1, how updates to the package are 
handled? If there is critical issue with the package, then "openvpn-2.4.1” is 
updated or it get new version numbering? I have used to that distros add own 
numbering like 2.4.1_u1 and so one - to give a clue that package was 
updated/patched. 

And yes - i know i can recompile by myself and i do not mind doing that, but i 
would avoid recompiling almost all all the time if there is already process 

thanks,
