This means we need pkg_add(8) which handles version correctly.
What do you mean here? Is there anything required that the current version handling of pkg_add(8) doesn't cover?
- installation
- user deinstalls the old kernel-dependent syspkgs
- user deinstalls the old kernel
- user installs the new kernel
- user installs the new kernel-dependent syspkgs
Personally, I'd prefer to not drop an old kernel (and modules) until i know the new one works. And maybe not even then.
This may be interesting as our pkg_* tools do not (AFAIK) support installing two versions of the same package.
