Hello misc@,

I have a question :

If I want the last packages/ports, I use a -current system, with -current ports tree. Last updates of softwares are in -current. On the other hand, they're developpement versions,

If I want a *very* stable system (in production for example), I use -release or -stable system. On the other hand, packages and ports are not updated even it's necessary (for example, the last mozilla-firefox is in 2.0.0.6 in ports tree -release and 2.0.0.10 in -current port tree).

If I use openbsd, it's for security and stability. Or, I must do a choice between :
* stability (-stable, -release) with no security updates of packages/ports,
* security (-current) with a less stability.

Why does OpenBSD team not make a -stable branch of the port tree ? It's necessary to security. What method does recommend to have updated applications in -stable or -release ?

Thanks for your informations.

Nicolas
