Your choices are: - you may use default package repository and then you must use default package builting options and flavours, e.g. MySQL and not MariaDB, packages built with X11 options enabled etc.; - or you may use non-default packages (f.e. MariaDB instead of MySQL) and then you either build and use your own package repository containing packages built with your preferences; - or you just build some packages using ports while using default package repository for distinct packages and don't use "pkg upgdate". I prefer third option. Sometimes it is handy to "pkg lock" packages you installed from ports buiklt with non-default options, too. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
