Hello,
I used to work with OpenBSD-realease and OpenBSD-stable by applying the patches
for the base and upgrade the packages.
Since the packages are not updated anymore for the -stable branch (still no
announcement on the project's web page) I switched to the -current option. I
don't want to go with the pure -current so I choosed to use snapshots.
My concern is about the relation between a snapshot and the precompiled
packages. Usually I grab a .iso from snapshot and install it.
Are the packages updated (precompiled) for each snapshot ?
Is the package update performed only for the ones requesting that to run on the
new snapshot?
Is there a rule like for each snapshot the project recompiles the whole package
collection?
What I want to do is to install an updated package (a greater version) on and
old already installed snapshot. Is it ok?
Thanks
