Thanks for the suggestion - and I take your point about not mixing ports &=20
packages...

Setting up our own pkg repo though sounds like a lot of work (all for the=20
sake of about probably 2 packages we need to change the options on) - I'd=20
guess there's no way of telling pkg to use 'our' repo for these 2-3=20
packages, and the main one for everything else?

I suppose the other option is just ignore packages, and stick to ports?=20
(presuming ports will always be around :)


I'd also still like to know if there's a way of getting 'pkg upgrade' to=20
spit out why it wants to install a 'new package' - when none of the current =

packages have a dependency on it?

This is going to happen at some point, even on a pkg only system (e.g. what =

happens when pkg upgrade says it's going to install X11 [which nothing=20
currently 'depends' on] - but obviously some upgraded package does - you'd=20
really want to know what's going to cause X to be installed?
