'upload' should only put binary packages into the target directory (which may or may not be local) that do not have any security issues. I don't know whether or not it only ``uploads'' current versions or also any older versions. Actually, 'upload' also checks for outdated packages (or at least it invokes linktpkgsrc with '-p'). Without having tested it and just from looking at it, I think that 'upload' should do what you want. -Jan -- Information wants to be free.
