Thank you Stuart but I hoped somebody maybe set up such a Server/Service already f.e. for a company or so. And Felipe Scarel: It is nice that you can past the crap but you should have read ALL. 15.2.8 - Security updates (-stable packages) When serious bugs or security flaws are discovered in third party software, they are fixed in the -stable branch of the ports tree, and a selection of updated binary packages is made available. " Please refer to the stable packages page to find out about updated packages and important updates to the -stable branch. Note that updated packages are only available for the i386 platform. For other platforms, you will need to use the -stable branch of the ports tree and compile from source. " Source: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html#PkgSecurity And the last time I checked f.e. ftp.openbsd.org clamav was still 0.88 and not 0.88.2 (and it`s still not updated to even the part about i386 is completly wrong). :) pkg_add -u will downgrade your system if you updated some software via Ports but at the Server (e.g. openbsd.org) is still an old Version. pkg_add -u could be used to keep software "up2date" (at least for STABLE) except of updating all packages after you updated to a new release. That`s why setting up an own "Update"-Server is maybe the better solution. Kind regards, Sebastian
