Hi Linyin,

If I understand corrctly you have some software at version n
installed by way of pkgsrc. Then you have updated pkgsrc
which
is now for a higher software version than you currently have
installed, correct?

Then your question is, how do you update the installed
package?
In the package subdirectory type 'make update'.

This is described in the "PACKAGE TARGETS"
section of the packages man page.

Hope that helps!

Ah, thanks. Very helpful!

I always wondered where those are documented.
That's the first time I see this mentionned on
the lists.

Thanks
Chris
