Nothing goes in unless there is a good reason for it (an important fix for something, or along those lines). In about a week, there will be a complete lock after which even if something is discovered to be broken, it stays broken.So, please test the snapshot packages as much as possible. Lots of changes in the system this development period, so lots of potential for breakage. Test now, test hard, and get stuff fixed.

Is there a clean way update applications from an updated source tree (such as new versions of php,mysql etc.)?
Are there global options to have the ports tree search for a pre-built package on ftp.XX.openbsd.org before downloading source and compiling?
Just curious.

for most ports, editing the Makefile and checksums is all you need, if you want to use the latest version of some software.
no, i'd recommend just using packages as much as possible if you don't want to compile things. note that packages from different versions of openbsd really don't work well.

Simple answer: no
I normally...
1. update ports tree to whatever the version of obsd is that you're running using cvs or cvsup
2. cd /usr/ports/some_port && make
3. pkg_delete some_port
4. make install
You'd have to do that for each one though.
Cheers,
Schwack

for example...
jed depends on slang and slang has been updated.
you have to build slang, uninstall jed and slang, install slang, and then rebuild jed.
which is clearly not acceptable on a multi user system for commonly used stuff.

We wait for you to fix this problem ...

cd /var/db/pkg

cd /tmp
pkg_add *

2)cd /usr/ports
make index
/usr/ports/infrastructure/build/out-of-date
build your out-of-date ports manually
3)Not that I know of.
