PKG-SET(8)		FreeBSD	System Manager's Manual		    PKG-SET(8)

NAME
     pkg set --	modify information in the installed database

SYNOPSIS
     pkg set [-a] [-A 0|1] [-n oldname:newname]	[-o oldorigin:neworigin]
	 [-v 0|1] [-y] [-Cgix] pkg-name

     pkg set [--all] [--automatic 0|1] [--change-name oldname:newname]
	 [--change-origin oldorigin:neworigin] [--yes] [-v 0|1]
	 [--{case-sensitive,glob,case-insensitive,regex}] pkg-name

DESCRIPTION
     pkg set is	used to	modify information concerning installed	packages.  pkg
     set should	always be used with caution.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported by pkg	set:

     -A	01, --automatic	01
		Set automatic flag for the package: 0 is not automatic,	1 is
		automatic.  This affects the operation of pkg-autoremove(8).

     -a, --all	Match all installed packages.

     -C, --case-sensitive
		Make the standard or the regular expression (-x) matching
		against	pkg-name case sensitive.

     -g, --glob
		Match pkg-name as a globbing expression.

     -i, --case-insensitive
		Make the standard or regular expression	(-x) matching against
		pkg-name case insensitive.  This is the	default, unless	modi-
		fied by	setting	CASE_SENSITIVE_MATCH to	true in	pkg.conf.

     -n	oldname:newname, --change-name oldname:newname
		Change the package name	of a given dependency from oldname to
		newname.

     -o	oldorigin:neworigin, --change-origin oldorigin:neworigin
		Change the port	origin of a given dependency from oldorigin to
		neworigin.  This corresponds to	the port directory that	the
		package	originated from.  Typically, this is only needed for
		upgrading a library or package that has	MOVED or when the de-
		fault version of a major port dependency changes. (DEPRECATED)
		Usually	this will be explained in /usr/ports/UPDATING.	Also
		see pkg-updating(8) and	EXAMPLES.

     -x, --regex
		Match pkg-name as a regular expression according to the	"mod-
		ern" or	"extended" syntax of re_format(7).

     -v	01	Set or unset the "vital" flag on the target package(s).	 Set
		to 0 to	disable	the "vital" flag, and 1	to enable it.

     -y, --yes	Assume yes rather than asking for confirmation before modify-
		ing package information.

     If	neither	the -g nor -x options are used,	the default is to match	pkg-
     name exactly.

FILES
     See pkg.conf(5).

EXAMPLES
     Change a package from automatic to	non-automatic, which will prevent
     autoremove	from removing it:
	   % pkg set -A	0 perl-5.14

     Change a package from non-automatic to automatic, which will make
     autoremove	allow it be removed once nothing depends on it:
	   % pkg set -A	1 perl-5.14

ENVIRONMENT
     The following environment variables affect	the execution of pkg set.  See
     pkg.conf(5) for further description.

     CASE_SENSITIVE_MATCH
