Keeping ports up to date on OpenBSD
Published by scotth January 6th, 2005 in OpenBSD
OpenBSD doesn’t have portupgrade like FreeBSD. Many OpenBSD users just take a snapshot of installed ports/packages by first running pkg_info and then deleting their package database as described in OpenBSD’s upgrade documentation. OpenBSD does offer a script though, to check what ports are out of date: /usr/ports/infrastructure/build/out-of-date. The script seems to work well for my needs.
