Afterwhich I thought I'd check and see if anything needed updating. If I let pkg upgrade everything, as I understand it, postfix and dovecot2 will revert to the options in the distributed package, and I won't have ldap support anymore. Is this correct? What is the "simplest" approach? (meaning no poudriere etc.). Can I just let pkg do it's thing first, then pkg delete and make install postfix and dovecot2 from ports again? Is there a better way?
