@ocicat Thank you for the link.

This sounds a bit strange to use a security focused system and not to bother apply security patches then. That's what people running release do.

The other thing I wonder is if the stable branch gets ports security fixes as soon as there is a security hole and if all ports get a fix.

On OpenBSD site, you are encouraged to start with release and apply patches.
If the way to update the system is documented in deep, there isn't much about ports. The mailing list ports-security is dormant and there is no mention about the out-of-date script.

So even if I am willing to update ports, I don't know the right way to do it.
I asked on the misc mailing list, but no answer yet...

I guess it is because OpenBSD only have a small community of developers and users which is a shame, it is a very nice project.
