Its the stable version that im trying to install. I installed the
release version but i wanted to update to stable mostly for the security
patches.
I dont want to use snapshot since its the current version.
How do you follow the stable version?
make update works for individual packages but since i installed openbsd
6.0 a couple of months after the official release alot of packages need
update.
I thought dpb was the way to go.

thank you.
