On to the Subject: Which has plagued my principal method of twice weekly using pkg to upgrade going on 3? years now. For various reasons, I have to pkg install... only the majority of pkgs to be updated. For instance, not libxul as of now, cannot afford desktop breakage of seamonkey, for instance. nor ffmpeg, would prefer not to risk breakage of mplayer, for example So I begin typing the subset. pkg-static install p5-This p5-That... consisting of 40 or so ports. Upon the 30 typed in, Xorg freezers, reboot. TEDIOUS. a better solution, pkg install works like 'make config' and one checks off the ones to be updated. Then, 'is this what you want? presents a subset of the removed/new/upgrade/reinstall lists, rather than all-or-none brute-force install of all. .....................
