Hi James Hartley again,
Does this means that I wouldn't to be able to install latest gnupg (or any other key software) that solves a security issue, till next 6-monthly release, when running OpenBSD release/stable on a production public machine?
Is this just a sample of software upgrade issues on OpenBSD (stable),upgardes trat are absolutely required on production critical boxes, where I don't want to play with the "developer's toy" "current" version?
.. What do you think about?
