Now that we have a repo, I want to start using binary packages for the numerous dependencies I have to install on pretty much every system: autotools, ca_root_nss, cmake-modules, gettext, glib, libtool, m4, etc. But `pkg upgrade` only asks me to upgrade everything at once. This absolutely won't work on any of my systems because I need non-default options on a few ports and therefore must compile those. But I don't want to compile everything from source. For example, of the 193 ports installed my home server, I set non-default options on only 15 of them. Everything else I can install as a binary package and save myself a HUGE amount of time. How do update individual ports from pkgng packages? Can I just install the new version over top of the old one?
