Since i am not using the ports , i have complied my product and have created package using pkg_create on Machine B(build)and added it using pkg_add on machine A . so after these steps i have my 1.0 installed on Machine A. Now i have made some changes in my product and created a package on Machine B using pkg_create, and it is my 1.1 version. I want to install this(1.1) version on machine A(which is having 1.0 already installed) . one way is to remove 1.0 and install 1.1 on machine A, but i cannot afford to do so. IS there any way to upgrade it to 1.1 without uninstalling? pkg_update command is not present. I hope i am clear with what i want. Help will be appreciated.
