Doubt with upgrade of some ports/packages

Hi,
I am using FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p1.
I installed mail/dovecot and mail/postfix from ports, because I needed mysql support.
When I run pkg upgrade, I get this:

Code: 
# pkg upgrade

Proceed with this action? [y/N]: n

What will be happens if I do this upgrade?
Will mail/dovecot and mail/postfix be overwritten by packages, so I have to uninstall them and rebuild from ports with my needed options?

I haven't yet my own repository :)

Thank you very much
 
Hi,
as long as I run portsnap fetch && portsnap update, can I assume that packages version will be same as ports?
Thank you
 
That depends, if you use the latest packages, yes, if you use the quarterly packages, no.
 
Hi,
honestly, I left most values to default, I just noticed this:

Code: 
FreeBSD: {
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}

According to pkg upgrade output, system will be reinstall dovecot-2.2.32

Code: 
Installed packages to be REINSTALLED:
        rhash-1.3.4
        readline-7.0.3
        postfix-3.2.3,1 (options changed)
        pcre-8.40_1
        lzo2-2.10_1
        libyaml-0.1.6_2
        libedit-3.1.20170329_2,1
        libarchive-3.3.1,1
        gettext-runtime-0.19.8.1_1
        expat-2.2.1
        dovecot-2.2.32_1 (options changed)

I checked with my ports tree:

Code: 
root@server:/usr/ports/mail/dovecot# less distinfo
TIMESTAMP = 1503592198
SHA256 (dovecot-2.2.32.tar.gz) = 160b2151e2af359877f69cb2dcdfe1a3f4138ad3766e3b8562b96616e2f6bc2e
SIZE (dovecot-2.2.32.tar.gz) = 6100268

So, in this case, is it better NOT to update ports tree, because I could fetch a more recent dovecot version, for example.
If I understand well, I have to manually check both version of those software (package and port) to make sure everything will be ok..
Correct?
Thank you very much for your patience
 
If you only use packages you can remove the whole ports tree, you don't need it. Also note that by default a pkg version will reference the ports tree if it exists. You can force pkg-version(8) to compare against a remote repository like this: pkg version -vR. Or just delete the ports tree, then pkg-version(8) will automatically use the remote repository as reference.

Alternatively, if you really want to have a ports tree, use svnlite(1) to checkout the quarterly branch of the ports tree. This is the branch from which the quarterly packages are made.
