I can't comment on the behaviour of pkg_upgrade, but your options, irrespective of whether you're sharing out /usr/ports, using ftp.freebsd.org as a repository, or making use of your own local package server, are currently limited to - portupgrade -PP - the pkg_upgrade script from bsdaminscripts - doing it manually by first using pkg_delete(1) Personally, I'd like to see pkg_add(1) enhanced to accommodate the binary-only upgrade functionality as provided by OpenBSD's pkg_add. <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pkg_add&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+4.5&format=ascii>; Then, again, I really do want a pony. ;-) -- George
