openbsd.nu/ports lists packages newer than what I am running.
at nu tin is listed as rev 1.8, newer than the 1.6 I am running.
Ditto for mplayer and ffmpeg.

I just got email saying I can download the (newer) ports from
openbsd.org, but that has not been my experience. At any rate,
nu/ports is a very nice ports interface.

I'm still running 4.0 release with a couple of security fixes.

Many Thanks for the info.
