Re: update on freebsd

iRedMail installs packages with ports tree on FreeBSD, you should upgrade them with ports tree, not "pkg upgrade".

Re: update on freebsd

By the way, we're trying to install all packages with pkg, but pending on 2 packages:

Re: update on freebsd

Thanks, I don't have much experience with freebsd.
So the pkg and its ports 'clone' are using the same options/config files?
Can we uninstall pkg but keep the config for ports?

edit:
so we can use:

# portsnap fetch extract
# portsnap fetch update

to upgrade?
