Is there any argument that you can pass to make (make upgrade??). Or do you have to do a pkg_del and then install the new port? I am asking b/c I noticed that wen you install the new port there are usually two entries in the /var/db/pkg directory. Do you just manually remove the old entry, and will the newer version overwrite any config files that the old version was using? Do you remove the old work directory in the ports tree, then do a make install? Thanks for any advice.
