 The main problem with pkg_chk, is that it deinstalls all to-be-upgraded candidates before reinstalling then. However a failure is not fatal, because the current state of packages is saved in a pkg_chk* file at the root of the pkgsrc directory.   The main problem with pkg_chk, is that it deinstalls all to-be-upgraded candidates before reinstalling then.

 Even if a lot of packages need to be updated, make replace usually works very well if the interval from the last 'pkg_rolling-replace -u' run is not that long (a month or so). With a longer interval, like a year or two, the odds of package renaming/splitting are higher. Still, for those who can resolve the issues, this is a fairly low-pain and reliable way to update.  Even if a lot of packages need to be updated, make replace usually works very well if the interval from the last 'pkg_rolling-replace -u' run is not that long (a month or so).

 User can upgrade his packages with "pkgmanager sync". This command removes packages installed on system which are not listed on want list. Then upgrade all wanted packages and dependencies to new version.

 An alternative way to choose the packages you want installed is to create your own custom meta-package. A meta-package doesn't install any files itself, but just depends on other packages (usually within a similar topic or need). Have a look at pkgsrc/meta-pkgs category for various examples. If your new meta-package is generic enough and useful for others, please be sure to share it.   An alternative way to choose the packages you want installed is to create your own custom meta-package.
