I'm on fbsd 10 release, installed most software as packages, but recently compiled postfix and dovecot2 from ports to enable their ldap/OpenLDAP option. 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?
Thanks,
Dale
