Perhaps we need an option to choose a random flavor.

For flavours you can choose that with "pkg_add somepkg--". ..and it would give you DB 3.x which is probably the worst option.

We have branches and they should be used for that. Granted, the gcc port naming is probably not the best ever. But... what's your arch ? do you *really* want a gcc 11 that might not work at all on your arch. Sorry. There is a lot more going on. We could have further annotations to let scripts decide between "most stable", "best esr", "most likely to win a beauty contest"

Agreed. The discussion was about different numbered versions, but has been hijacked to be about flavors. If a "simple automated scripted" pkg_add were desired, it would take choice #1 in this case or any where there are flavors AND where no flavor was specified.

"Just install gcc, dammit". There are many ports that have version choices and in the context of installing the latest of everything in a "scripted install", having to either stop mid-install and answer such a prompt, or sort out in advance what ports exist in multiple versions, is not what's wanted. It may be unwise, but it's what some people that do scripted installs want. I have wished for this too, but it never bothered me enough to send a query. :-)

Install latest package without prompts on OpenBSD 7.0
Hi Everyone, I am working on OpenBSD 7.0, x86_64. I'm trying to script an install of developer tools I use, like GCC and Git. When I attempt to install GCC I am prompted: $ sudo pkg_add gcc g++ quirks-4.54 signed on 2022-01-09T19:08:35Z Ambiguous: choose package for gcc a0: 1: gcc-8.4.0p9 2: gcc-11.2.0p0 I've looked over the man page at https://man.openbsd.org/pkg_add, but I don't see an option to tell pkg_add to install the latest version of the package. How do I tell pkg_add to install the latest version without prompting me? Thanks in advance.
