hi, ima newbie so pls excuse me if this is not the right section or if it has alrady been discussed.. Ive searched around but didnt have any luck..
I just upgraded my port tree with portsnap.. now, I wanted to upgrade my wine package.. problem is, it depends on other packages as well.. and the new one wants new versions of already installed packages.
in these situations, what is the right procedure?
should I tell (and how?) pkg_add to replace everything? (I mean, wine and every dependencies and every subdependencies and so on..) or shall I install new versions along the old one and keep different versions of the same package?
and if I replace the old ones with the new versions, will it be safe? I mean, will libxyz-1.6_2 will be backward compatible with libxyz-1.6_1 or libxyz-1.5_7?
thnx
