I looked at that, and was a bit put off by the "(DEPRECATED)" warning in the pkg-set man page. Well, that, as well as the sense that I was treading in areas I understood but poorly, and if I screwed up, I could lose Internet connectivity (at home, at least) and/or the abiliity to send & receive email....

I merely figured I'd want to have a record of what I did, and that such a record might be of use to others (if for no other reason than to be able to avoid some of the things that I encountered).

OK; that appears to have worked as advertised -- thanks you! (I do a "poudriere bulk" as part of the weekly upgrade in any case, as I've updated the ports working copy, so the production machines do a "pkg upgrade" just after updating base FreeBSD.) So -- in my case -- the "short answer" was: * Specify the local default in /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/make.conf via: DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=3D perl5=3D5.22 =20 * Perform the usual weekly upgrade. And "so far, so good" -- I have verified that I can send & receive email, at least, and other stuff seems OK so far. :-) > Note that the default version of perl in your repo will get the pkgname > 'perl5', and all others will get a pkgname of the form 'perl5.XY' -- so > in my repo, I have: >=20 > % pkg search -x perl5 > perl5-5.22.0_2 > perl5.20-5.20.2_6 >=20 > ie 5.22 is the default version but I also have a (basically useless) > perl5.20 package. > .... Huh; interesting: thanks. I may poke at that after I have occasion to power up the build machine again (probably not until tomorrow). Thank you both for your guidance! Peace, david --=20 David H.
