Indeed, OpenBSD does not allow blobs for drivers. We are very firm about that, and for good reasons.
Sure, but reality being what it is... hopefully this won't be such an issue in the future.
Since a couple of releases, upgrading packages is as simple as can be. The package system checks which packages are out of date and offers to upgrade them. This includes dependency checks and all that. Also, a lot of ports are available as pre-built packages.
Good that they have finally fixed this. I will have to check this out.
Upgrading the base system always has been easy: boot install media an choose "upgrade".
That word, 'easy', I don't think it means what you think it means.
Seriously though, perhaps that is much more robust than what you get in most Linuxes, but I wouldn't call it easy. In here, we usually upgrade the whole system in a single command without needing to reboot.
But I'll see for myself.
