Minor correction: "pkg update" will only fetch a new repository catalogue, "pkg upgrade" performs the actual upgrade (correctly listed by you in the first quoted chunk above). > "pkg delete" uninstalls packages, including packages > that have a run-dependency on what is being deleted. I'd add "pkg audit" to the list of important package maintenance commands. It warns about packages with security vulnerabilities (even if no fixed package is available at this time, which may lead to other protective measures being advisable).
