Hello,

How do I upgrade an existing, installed package? Let's say I had bind 8.2.5
and I needed to upgrade to 8.2.3, what would I do using the ports
collection?

Do I deinstall and then install with the updated port sources, or do I just
"make install" again with the updated port sources? What happens with my
config files?

Thanks,

Mario Doria
