Ok. In that case you could lock a package & various pkg commands would not
touch it...

  % pkg lock <MariaDB package names>

... note that that will also affect the dependent packages. To upgrade or
delete later, you can run ...

  % pkg unlock <MariaDB package names>

... and upgrade or delete as you usually do.

So my actual question is how to make 'mytop' (and other similar things)
