I wouldn't do that; from source, pkg_rolling-replace; from binary, 'pkgin update && pkgin upgrade' is all I have been doing for quite some time. I don't quite understand the point of 'make update'; its results have been rather unpredictable, at least in the past. I often do 'make replace' on leaf packages, knowing that if the worst comes only they will break, and a pkg_rolling-replace will sort them out anyway. > > What is considered Best Practices wrt this situation? > > Thank you and > > Happy Easter all. > > -- > RSB -- ----
