Then is there any way to (re|un)install all installed non-pkgbase
packages?
this should be possible using 'pkg delete -r FreeBSD-ports', but
currently this option does not exist. there is a feature request
to add it: https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/2494.
It solves the issue of `pkg-static delete -afy` but doesn't one of
`pkg-static upgrade -fy`. IMHO option of pkg(8) should be added that
limits target of action to either pkgbase pacakges or non-pkbbase
ones.
pkg-query(8) evaluation format does not have variable for repository,
but you can lock/unlock FreeBSD-base packages before/after:
# sh -c 'pkg query "%n %R" | grep " FreeBSD-base" | while read A B;
do pkg lock -y $A; done'
# pkg-static upgrade -fy
...
# sh -c 'pkg query "%n %R" | grep " FreeBSD-base" | while read A B;
do pkg unlock -y $A; done'
BTW, it seems package name of all pkgbase packages starts with
'FreeBSD-'. On the other hand AFAIK ports framework don't prohibit to
add port whose package name starts with 'FreeBSD-'. It seems
confliction of package name may happen between base system and ports.
