After adding some (>1000) packages from default pkg repository, I was able to start working with kde4, libreoffice, firefox ... I then tried to switch the gs port (print/ghostscript9) to the more recent agpl-gs (print/ghostscript9-agpl), both packages are available in the standard repository: $ pkg install print/ghostscript9-agpl This command first suggested to remove all ghostscript dependent stuff (more than 50 packages , including most of kde4) before installing the new ghostscript port. Letting pkg do its job would not help. Reinstalling www/kde4 would first replace the new ghostscript version with the former one. So, at last everything would be like before. Is there a recommended procedure to solve this problem? $ pkg set -a -o print/ghostscript9:print/ghostscript9-agpl before trying to install print/ghostscript9-agpl did not help. Another example would be switching database server from mysql to mariadb. For now, I'm only able to modify /etc/make.conf, rebuild *all* related packages, create an additional local package repository from these and tell pkg to prefer installing packages from there. - -- Sincerely Alfred Bartsch Data-Service GmbH -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAlTnQlcACgkQ5QGe2JdVf3h9jgCaA7HgafiHu+51q12qewzsay0/ 0fcAnAxfkBmdXVVOx65CKK6/mNEuPwiX =Zd16 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
