Solved Question re pkg

Greeting all,

just out of curiosity, when a new version of pkg is available, how does the current version of pkg install it?

Kindest regards,

M
 
Normally, pkg is quite capable of upgrading itself. It's even smart enough to install its new version first and automatically restart itself to finish upgrading other packages when doing a multi-package upgrade that include a new version of pkg.
 
Some of the earlier versions are not capable of updating themselves to the latest ones, in that case you should do this:

# /usr/sbin/pkg bootstrap -f
