Once you have a built release you can run upgrades everywhere from
that release tarball.

man release

to figure out how to do that.

Now you may ask, why don't we do that?  We simply do not have the
resources and time to
devote racks of machines, developer time, and internet bandwidth to
building stable somewhere
for all architectures, and distributing it securely.

Us (the developers) would rather spend our time improving the os and
our resources at
distributing it and making it better than expending a lot of effort
because someone is
too lazy to rtfm and patch something themselves.  If you want push
butan, get os, please
go run windows 7 or OSuX.. you'll be much happier, as will we because
the neediness
of our user community goes down.

The fact that you have to not be lazy to use OpenBSD is important to
us. Unlike a commercial
OS, or linux, we don't measure our success in how popular it is, or if
we're going to replace the
evil microsoft any time soon. we *WANT* needy lazy users to use those
other OS's so we can
concentrate on making something that works and is stable for people
who really need it, like
ourselves.
