On the other hand, as you are changing these packages yourself, why
don't you change the revision to a higher one, and pass the "<" flag
with the -l option to pkgin?

This is in case you have to keep your local packages when new
revisions get in, I mean, if your packages' versions are the same
as the ones in the repository, doing just

pkgin -l '<' upgrade

should do what you want right now.

No, -l is only used for 'pkgin list'. Upgrade always considers every package.

I see... still you could easily combine the output of "pkgin -l
'<' list" with pkg_add. It would be nice if pkg_info had this kind
of functionality.

I didn't remember that -l is only for list. My fault!
