I follow stable tree, OPENBSD_4_6 branch. I'd like to update some of my packages. As an example, # pkg_add -unvi tiff gives the following message; 'No need to update tiff-3.8.2p4'
but my /usr/ports (OPENBSD_4_6) has tiff-3.8.2p5. After running 'make package' inside ./graphics/tiff, i got the binary file tiff-3.8.2p5.tgz from /usr/ports/packages/i386/all and i replaced the old tiff package with that one by doing pkg_add -rvi ./tiff-3.8.2p5.tgz I wonder if that would create any problem. As the system says 'No need to update tiff-3.8.2p4'. (I know that its already the latest one from packages) but i still update them to higher versions with my stable ports binaries. I had to do the same for my php5 package too, (from php5-core-5.2.10 to php5-core-5.2.12) Because i was getting httpd segfault crashes (suhosin?) with the latest stable php5 package. (php5-core-5.2.10) Is this a mistake? Is it ok to replace an installed package with a higher version of it from the ports? Thanks.
