You have two options: 1. (recommended) - update your packages (pkg_add -u) to get updates for the security releases of PHP to 7.1.32 / etc. 2. (not recommended) - if you want to ignore the security fixes for packages and just use the ones present at release, you can set PKG_PATH in the environment to just include the release directory, PKG_PATH=(mirror)/pub/OpenBSD/6.5/packages/(arch)/ (obviously, filling in (mirror) and (arch) with the relevant mirror address and cpue architecture e.g. aarch64, amd64, ..).
Meaning of 'OpenBSD -stable binary packages'
Hello all. I am running 6.5 STABLE. This release was with PHP 7.1.28. So my webserver runs PHP 7.1.28. Today I wanted to install an additional PHP driver for postgresql and I realized that there are only plugins for PHP versions 7.1.31 and 7.1.32 (and 7.2.x + 7.3.x) available with pkg_add. So my question is if the new announced binary updates for packages means that the released versions are gone? Do I have to edit /etc/installurl to follow -stable without the updates for packages? Have I misunderstood the mail on the list about the binary updates...

Anyway there did used to be updated -stable packages for a similar set of arches as the new builds, that was done until somewhere around 4.6, so not only is your "decade or two late" comment a bit off, it is also wrong. It didn't stop before because "OpenBSD isn't doing this", it stopped because there was nobody interested enough to put in the work needed.

Worth re-establishing monthly donations, I guess.
