Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-pkg mailing li= st <pkg@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 229393: ports-mgmt/pkg: Show which options changed if upgrade needed https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D229393 --- Description --- `pkg upgrade` detects changed options in a package and requires reinstallat= ion, but only shows minimal information about the reason: Installed packages to be REINSTALLED: mypackage-1.11 (options changed) This patch prints before/after options and their values so the sysadmin can clearly see why a package is reinstalled. Why? Building production packages yourself with regular ports tree updates = and custom options can often lead to this case, and when doing live deployments, you want to be sure that no critical options have been altered. I wanted to combine this with {-v,--verbose}, but apparently `pkg upgrade {-v,--vulnerable}` already exists, overriding the default expectation of 'v' option meaning verbose.
