I run three versions of amd64. 5.7, 5.8, -current I run three versions of i386. 5.7, 5.8, -current Ever set PKG_PATH wrong? Ever wanted to clean out all packages while running -current upgrading to a new snapshot before doing a fresh install on next snapshot? I, personally, would find this change helpful. This change would mean a lot of work, but not need to be done urgently at all. This change may have very valid reasons not do it. It never hurts to ask reasonable questions. I did not search the mailing lists for a previous question about this. Asking this question at all may have been a waste of time since it has been addressed before. Which means I may have made a mistake in asking it "yet again". On the other hand, the openbsd web pages have just such a format for upgrades and following -current. Chris Bennett
