If there is critical issue with the package, then > "openvpn-2.4.1" is updated or it get new version numbering? It gets a new version number, typically openvpn-2.4.1p0. If the fix is done via a new upstream release, the number may look something like openvpn-2.4.2. In this particular case, it actually is openvpn-2.4.3p1 in both -stable and -current. > And yes - i know i can recompile by myself and i do not mind doing > that, but i would avoid recompiling almost all all the time if there > is already process Using -stable, you will have to compile port updates yourself: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html#PortsSecurity Or use the third-party, but IMHO trustworthy third-party precompiled stable packages fro MTier: https://stable.mtier.org/ If you use -current instead of stable, just updating to a newer snapshot is sufficient: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Flavors That said, use the manual pages and the FAQ before asking questions, and do not use web search engines to search for answers to questions regarding OpenBSD. Unlike in Linux, almost everything is documented precisely and concisely in the canonical places in the manual pages or FAQ, and documentation is almost always up to date. Yours, Ingo
