And you're running 3.9 or -current?

Right; pkg_add is nice.

It's not that developers don't have time; it's that they don't have
resources. We all agree -- it would be great to see updates built
for more/all of the arches. And that can happen, I imagine. The only
problem is money and resources.
So if you care as much about having packages built for your arch as
you seem to, donate money or hardware.
Nikolay has already asked[0] for an amd64 to make -stable packages
happen; can you help?

What do you need to do those 3 hours of compiling (even though I think it's more work to get updated packages) ? You'll need a machine to build them on. You need the this machine to run the STABLE version you want to build the package for. OpenBSD developers support two releases, so you'd need two machines (or boot between two versions in some way or another, adding to the time it take to release updated packages). How many pkg-archs does OpenBSD support ? see ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.9/packages/ : alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, m68k, m88k, mips64, powerpc, sparc, sparc64, vax. That's 12 * 2 = 24 package build machines. That's also 24 * 3 = 72 hours of work (granted, some stuff can be done in parallel but I still believe it to be more than three hours of work, especially since some archs are quite a bit slower than your run of the mill quad 3GHz AMD64 box). Please remember that OpenBSD is a multi-platform OS. All these resources could be used to further -current and the -current ports tree. I find it amazing developers find time to update packages for older releases for one arch. Anyway, as can be seen in a recent post from Nikolay Sturm, they are looking at supporting another arch. If you really want that support to be there, please consider donating. See http://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=articlesid=20060619214229 for more info on this request.

pkg_add -u not working
I have just upgraded from OpenBSD 3.8 - 3.9. I set my PKG_PATH to ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.9/packages/i386/ and did a pkg_add -ui -F update -F updatedepends but it doesn't update all the packages instead just compare them. Here's the output - # pkg_add -ui -F update -F updatedepends Error from ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.9/packages/i386/: Unknown command.

Re: pkg_add -u not working
Hi Tobias, The last one just solved your problem (in case you didn't notice). Next time use 'pkg_add -ui' The last one solved the problem because I gave the package name (atk in this case). If I didn't give the package name it would just have compared and exited like before.
