This is two differents things, ports build packages and pkg manages the packages.

Then it is very easy to upgrade a full machine with pkg upgrade -f And you are sur that the packages set is consistant. > But in that way how I manage to maintaint up2date ALL packages ?=20 poudriere and pkg :-) Regards.
