Upgrading all compiled packages from pkgsrc

netbsdnoob

Hello all, I couldn't find within the documentation how to upgrade all the packages I have compiled from source.
How can I do this?

In addition, how can I switch from 2020Q2 to current and once switched how to upgrade all my packages to the -current version?

NOTE: I am talking about source-based packages not about binary packages.

Edit /usr/pkg/etc/pkgin/repositories.conf to use the binary packages repo that you want to switch to. Run update and upgrade, that's all.

pin the thing that confuses me is that i am not able to find the repositories for "current".

Can you help me?

Here https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/

In the list i only found 9.0_current, is this the one i have to track?

The thing that confuses me is that i am on a 9.2 and that 9.0 bothers me.

Also, thanks for your help and greetings from Azerbaijian!

Yes, that's the one.

Minor versions are fully compatible with each other.

pin Yes I think it's confusing since I expected just "current" or 9_current, but it's ok now I get it!

I had the same question as above but am confused by the answer. I thought pkgin was for managing only binary applications. How does one upgrade all the packages they've built from source?

Nevermind, I found my answer: pkg_rolling-replace

kly yep.

In particular, with pkgtools/pkg_rolling replace:

$  pkg_rolling-replace -rsuv

with pkgtools/pkg_chk:

$ pkg_chk -uas

If you're regularly building from source, and maintaining a local repo, you'd most likely find pkgtools/pkgclean and pkgtools/lintpkgsrc very useful. See https://retrobsd.ddns.net/2k6pea.htm
