There is no better way yet. It's a new feature in my development copy, but with too much a potential for breaking things for it to get committed before 3.8 gets out. Note that pkg_add -r will do more or less what you want, since it won't replace packages if they're already installed, and will go on. You might end up updating some packages you did not intend to, though... > 2 - How is pkg_add -u working for people? It works fine for me. I don't know about other people yet, you tell me...
