What is the recommended way of dealing with the base versions of commands when installing a package version instead? Should I chmod -x the base executable(s), delete them or rename them? What happens if I subsequently do a freebsd-update - do the base executables get reinstated or are they ignored? The specific case I'm interested in is unbound under 11.2, but this applies to a variety of programs (CUPS vs base lpr, or base vs pkg llvm come to mind) and if there's any official guidance on this I've missed it. -- Always learn from the mistakes of others, because you won't live long enough to learn from making all possible mistakes yourself.
