Hello, Is there a simple way to upgrade packages on machines with packages built on other machines? Example: I have eight machines that have jdk-1.4.2p6_4. On one of the machines I have done a portupgrade jdk, and now have jdk-1.4.2p6_5. I then did a "pkg_create -b jdk-1.4.2p6_5" and have a jdk-1.4.2p6_5.tgz. I copied jdk-1.4.2p6_5.tgz to the other seven machines. Now how can I upgrade jdk on the others? I have noticed for at least a few months now that "pkg_update" is no longer with us, and found a message somewhere that it has been removed do to problems/non-maintainence, and that most people are using portupgrade these days. Is there a way I can upgrade the packages on other machines without having to a pkg_delete first, then a pkg_add? Thanks for any info, Duane Winner
