Hi, I read through the FreeBSD handbook, especially the section covering ports/packages, but updating packages is mentioned nowhere. Is there a convenient way to update packages? I don't mean using CVS,CVSup,CTM (source updates) but binary updates, like this is arranged in Linux using RPM and DEB. Or is it possible to just pkg_add <pkgname> if there is already an old version of <pkgname> installed? I guess pkg_delete <oldpkg_name> and then pkg_add <newpkgname> doesn't solve this problem, because of the dependencies...
