Updating Packages
The pkg_update tool allows you to update a package using a newly downloaded .tgz of a package you already have installed. It will handle all dependencies and ensure that the new version is installed cleanly. To use it, download the .tgz package and then run pkg_update on it:
# pkg_update newpackage.tgz
