Hello, I have compiled the ports I do need with poudriere on one machine and moved the resulting packages (~1400) to a repository /usr/PKGDIR on my other machines to install from there. This way around 800 packages are installed and all is fine. I'm planing now to SVN update the jail for the ports, recompile all 'my' ports and move them to a new repo, lets say /usr/PKGDIR.head; What is the exact procedure to update all the installed packages from the new repo /usr/PKGDIR.head? I have read the man page pkg-upgrade(8) and it seems that it would do more or less what I want. But, it says for example it will not install new packages. What will happen if an installed package has now more/other dependency packages in /usr/PKGDIR.head as the older version has, will those new depencies be installed by pkg-upgrade(8)? Or would it be better to just remove all installed packages (how?) and do pkg-install from scratch? Ofc, in this form one has to backup configuration files in /usr/local/etc...
