Hello Jonathan, 

if you'd pardon my sort of stupid question - I've installed pkgsrc on onmios 
some time ago. How do I properly upgrade it? ;)

'pkgin update' says there are no news in database 2013Q3 that i have here... 
how do I bump it to the new 2014Q4 release?

Is it same as installation (pull a bootstrap)? Would this inherit and later 
help update the pkgsrc packages i've installed earlier?

Can I change the arch along the way (x86_64 to multiarch for example)? Does 
multiarch offer something like isaexec to also provide 64-bit binary programs 
where deemed beneficial over 32-bit quickness?

Thanks,
Jim
