> In this day and age not having proper dependency resolution for packages is not acceptable. It still doesn't? Haha! I remember ranting about this 10 years ago, with a friend who went to a conference in France… that was dedicated to package management in BSDs. I asked him how I "just upgrade all the packages" (apt-get upgrade). I'd found two-three ways, but couldn't get them to work. He said that yeah there are three ways. They don't work. I thought surely they'd fixed it by now.

pkg update; pkg upgrade No different from apt on a Debian system. It's come on leaps and bounds since the initial 10.0 release.

On OpenBSD, just do `pkg_add -Uu`.

  That's packages only, and with ports you're on your own, right?

    OpenBSD devs recommend using binary packages, even for the ports tree. Even if you compile from source, it generates a binary package then installs it.
