This option can be specified multiple times to update several repositories. This will update only the named repositories, irrespective of the configured “enabled” status from repo.conf. upgrade and install (for example) has the wording: -r reponame, --repository reponame Install packages from only the named repository. This option can be specified multiple times to use several repositories. Packages will be fetched from the named repositories only, irrespective of the configured “enabled” status from repo.conf. (I'll stop with that much quoting here.) So 2.7.4, the likes of, say, "pkg upgrade -rFreeBSD-base" does an update as well as the upgrade afterwards, no updates-of/upgrades-from any other REPO_NAME. There still could be consequences tied to missing dependencies for other things installed, for example, possibly only temporarily being missing in some cases. The documentation wording is not explicit about such points. Some of how 15.0 was set up and documented for use with pkgbase was based on the pkg of the time not working as documented for such. It may be that some things should change and that some pkg 2.7.4+ should be indicated as what is appropriate/supported for pkg use (usage documented). It is now easier to configure things to avoid having to edit /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf or /usr/local/etc/pkg/respos/FreeBSD.conf as much --because the command line can be more in control for more activities, via use of -rREPO_NAME . (pkg with "pkg delete -G AVOID_DELETE_GLOB" is not committed in the ports tree yet yet but might also contribute how things would be done.) -- === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.comhome | help
