Then pkg_updating will be more "compatible" with other pkg_* commands (e.g. pkg_info which shows all installed packages without any argument or just info for given package[s]. (so one can use `pkg_updating apache mysql` and get information for both) Anyway your work is good! regards Miroslav Lachman
