pkg upgrade, even though my custom Synth repo has newer version of the packages available they are not upgraded. It appears this is only the case if the package was originally installed from the FreeBSD repo.Reading the pkg man page, I found the CONSERVATIVE_UPGRADE option which seems to address exactly my need and allow a newer package version to be installed during an upgrade even if coming from a different repo.
