The current Oscar iteration does not include any automatic update functionality.
Generally I just start over from scratch with a new version (often using the oportunity to update the operating system as well) and a fresh Oscar install. I suppose you could also just use the included rpms and/or source code to update the packages piecemeal if you wanted, but it would be quite labor intensive. I find it is a bit like moving every couple of years in that it tends to keep my filesystem less cluttered :) Of course, I only have three users so I could see it being more inconvenient for others.
