my comrade has many ways to do this, in my case I use the portmaster, I find a real tool, very sharp, but as tradition I have mastered one of its principles

If your list is a text file this would be an option:

Edit the file with what you want to install than

pkg install -y `cat pkglist`

pkglist is the name of the text file you have.

To create a new file list: pkg prime-list > pkglist

Hope this helps.

Word of advice, don't upgrade individual packages, upgrade everything in one go; pkg upgrade. You will run into dependency issues if you don't.

As for installing, look at the solution meaw229a posted. You can also just add the packages you want on a single pkg-install(8), like so: pkg install package1 package2 package3 etc.
