I happened to do this today on my dragonflybsd so thought you will be interested :-) # pkgin update cleaning database from http://avalon.dragonflybsd.org/packages/i386/DragonFly-2.7/pkgsrc-2010Q2/ entries... downloading pkg_summary.bz2: 100% processing remote summary (http://avalon.dragonflybsd.org/packages/i386/DragonFly-2.7/pkgsrc-2010Q2/All)... updating database: 100% dfly-bkpsrv# pkgin full-upgrade 6 packages to be upgraded: freetype2-2.3.12 gtar-info-1.22 openldap-client-2.4.21 png-1.4.2 python26-2.6.5 tiff-3.9.4 1 packages to be removed: asciidoc-8.6.1 6 packages to be installed: png-1.4.3 python26-2.6.5nb1 tiff-3.9.4nb1 freetype2-2.4.2 gtar-info-1.23 openldap-client-2.4.23 (15M to download, 59M to install) proceed ?

It is not at all differrent from apt* in debian? same amount of user interaction! apt was great in its time but now most package manager does the same thing! for example you could do the same in archlinux simply by #pacman Syu cheers :-) --Siju _______________________________________________ Indian Libre User Group Cochin Mailing List http://www.ilug-cochin.org/mailing-list/ http://mail.ilug-cochin.org/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist_ilug-cochin.org #[email protected]
