cd /usr/ports/foo/bar
make
mv /var/db/pkg/bar-x.y.z/+REQUIRED_BY .
pkg_delete bar-a.b.c
make install
mv +REQUIRED_BY /var/db/pkg/bar-d.e.f

if [ ! $3 ]; then
echo "$0 <name> <oldver> <newver>"
exit 1
fi
for i in `cat /var/db/pkg/${1}-${3}/+REQUIRED_BY`; do
echo -n "Updating ${i}... "
perl -npi -e "s:\@pkgdep\ ${1}\-${2}:\@pkgdep\ ${1}\-${3}:g" /var/db/pkg/${i}/+CONTENTS
echo "done"
done

Lazy disclaimer:
- works for me
- I think I know what I'm doing here (and what the limitations are
(e.g. bar == libxyz && libmajorversion(old) !=
libmajorversion(new))).
Bye,
Alexander.
