I know what I'd like: a utility in the base system for binary upgrading of packages. More flexible logic in how the '-r' option is handled would be nice (being able to fetch all packages from All/ even if you are on RELENG). Doesn't freebsd-update fetch install && pkg_upgrade -a look nice for keeping up to date? The obvious hairy details must be harder than it seems, I'm sure others have considered it (and would have done it) before. qvb -- pica
