Thanks to solene@, sthen@ and pea@ for making this a possibility!

Patiently awaiting the sparc64 ones for my Tadpole Viper.

You may be waiting for awhile.

First sysmerge, syspatch, then sysupgrade, now this. Seems like my biggest complaint about running OpenBSD (difficult to keep up to date) is pretty adequately addressed by 6.6.

Same here! I might just take the plunge and deploy my next project on OpenBSD. Does anyone know a good host for it? I've only used Vulture in the past.

For a dedicated server, there are others that will let you install OpenBSD even though they don't list OpenBSD as an option. Pick a hosting service you like and call their sales department to see if they will allow it.

Give openbsd.amsterdam a look.

Is there a better command for a cronjob to check for available updates? I try to get something like <package name> - <current version> - <updated version>

i currently use

  pkg_add -u -n -I -v 2>&1 | grep 'Adding' | sort -u

It says some packages will receive updates. Which ones?

brynet4• 7 years ago

The ports that receive -stable updates in CVS. That usually means important security fixes, chosen at the discretion of both the port maintainers and developers building stable packages. The @OpenBSD_stable Twitter account may be helpful, ports tagged OPENBSD_6_5 are stable updates, and should receive updated packages.

Is this the same as what mtier provides ? Or are the packages different. I was trying to find chromium as that is about the only internet facing package I would use in a hypothetical desktop setup. I didn't see it on the link you posted.

My favorite pufferfish just keeps getting better. I remember my brother installing OpenBSD m68k on an LC II when I was younger. I should install it on a vm and take it for a spin!
