Package upgrade audit

Hello,

I need to determine precisely what happened during the last pkg upgrade in a jail of mine. I tried looking for a log of some kind but failed to find anything. Does it save this kind of information somewhere by default?

Thanks!

Thank you. Found the info relating to what happened. Presumably that's it - more in-depth stuff like the rationale would be provided at the point of execution? Basically pkg upgrade uninstalled a mariadb server and client instance while installing a mysql client instance. I'd like to find out precisely why, else I'm speculating.

That's easy. Packages are built with default settings, the default is MySQL 5.6. So any package that needs a client will install databases/mysql56-client, removing your MariaDB (because it conflicts).

If you want/need to deviate from the defaults you'll have to build from ports. If you have more than one machine to maintain I can highly recommend setting up your own repositories.
