We go to extra lengths and allow only pkg installs on servers. That way we are sure, that no random library pollution takes place. It also makes stuff better reproducable. Sadly packages are somewhat neclected and there is still no good pkg_update tool > What I'm going to try is to prepare packages of the ports I have to > upgrade on a dev/test server, and then install them with pkg_add: is > that the "right way" ? A good way would be to test this very update with packages on a test box. That is, install mysql4, produce your mysql5 packages somewhere else (or use a chroot or jail). Then see if pkg-updating works for mysql.
