I tend to keep the following line in my ~/.profile export PKG_PATH=http://ftp.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/`uname -m`/ (which you really should adjust to look at an appropriate mirror and perhaps use `uname -r` to automagically select your release is if you're not running snapshost) and then do a $ sudo pkg_add -vui every now and then. Assuming you trust the mirror, this will give you updates relevant to the release you're running. For learning about the OpenBSD packages system, the canonical way to start is to read http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html and relevant man pages. My own take on keeping OpenBSD systems reasonably up to date can be found at http://bsdly.blogspot.no/2012/07/keeping-your-openbsd-system-in-trim.html (a "works for me" guide). - Peter -- Peter N. M.
