You might also want to look at the /usr/ports/UPDATING entry for = upgrading between major versions of PostgreSQL (e.g., the 20230908 = entry). It uses "pkg create" to create an installable package version = of the existing PostgreSQL binaries prior to installing the new ones and = performing the upgrade. Cheers, Paul.
