pkg-compare(8) System Manager's Manual pkg-compare(8) NAME pkg-compare SYNOPSIS pkg-compare pkg-compare new_path old_path pkg-compare -m -p new_path old_path DESCRIPTION This program reads local.sqlite in new_path and compares list of installed packages in local.sqlite in old_path. If a package is found in old_path which is not in new_path then the name of the port is printed, one per line. Command line switches: -p prefix each package with 'pkg install -Rf' -m show manually installed packages only, no deps Upgrade Strategy: # mv /usr/local /usr/old-local # mv /var/db/pkg /var/db/old-pkg # cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg # make # make install clean # cd /usr/ports/databases/sqlite3 # make # make install clean # pkg-compare -p -m /var/db/pkg /var/db/old-pkg > upgrade.sh # yes | sh upgrade.sh OPTIONS -p Prefix each package with 'pkg install -Rf'.
