By default, source code will not be installed during installation. Source can be installed by two different methods:

You asked:

The userland build takes an hour or two with modern PCs. On older or smaller architectures (e.g.: VAX, VME) this may take days. On those systems, -release+errata may be of greater interest than -stable. |

If you end up upgrading from OpenBSD 4.3-release to 4.3-stable, note that nothing will need to be done to whatever packages are already installed. Any new packages you may later decide to install are still installed the same manner as in 4.3-release..

Good point, Ocicat. -stable is not an upgrade, it is -release, plus a careful collection of patches. Only patches that affect security or reliability are included -- there is no new functionality, and no library changes. The advantage is that -release and -stable are interchangeable. -release packages may be added to -stable systems, and -stable packages to -release systems. Yes, -stable packages used to be available. At one time, ports with security fixes were added to the -stable ports tree, and -stable packages were built and added to the package mirrors.
Currently, this is not done, due to resource constraints. But it may happen again, in the future. |
