first and foremost your question is not firebird-related, as with almost all distributions that use any kind of packaging mechanisms. a pkg install fetches and installs the current tested version of a pkg and it's dependencies, if there are any. Leaving the readymade pkg path you should look at the freebsd ports collection: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html Word of advice - if yoo aren't that familiar with freebsd and/or the packaging/ports mechanisms - stay on 2.5.2_5 until 2.5.3 becomes available. hth, Marcus [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
