DESCRIPTION
pkg set is used to modify information concerning
installed packages. pkg set should always be used with
caution.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported by pkg
set:
-A01,--automatic01- Set automatic flag for the package: 0 is not automatic, 1 is automatic. This affects the operation of pkg-autoremove(8).
-a,--all- Match all installed packages.
-C,--case-sensitive- Make the standard or the regular expression (
-x) matching against pkg-name case sensitive. -g,--glob- Match pkg-name as a globbing expression.
-i,--case-insensitive- Make the standard or regular expression (
-x) matching against pkg-name case insensitive. This is the default, unless modified by settingCASE_SENSITIVE_MATCHto true in pkg.conf. -noldname:newname,--change-nameoldname:newname- Change the package name of a given dependency from oldname to newname.
-ooldorigin:neworigin,--change-originoldorigin:neworigin- Change the port origin of a given dependency from oldorigin to neworigin. This corresponds to the port directory that the package originated from. Typically, this is only needed for upgrading a library or package that has MOVED or when the default version of a major port dependency changes. (DEPRECATED) Usually this will be explained in /usr/dports/UPDATING. Also see pkg-updating(8) and EXAMPLES.
-x,--regex- Match pkg-name as a regular expression according to the "modern" or "extended" syntax of re_format(7).
-v01- Set or unset the "vital" flag on the target package(s). Set to 0 to disable the "vital" flag, and 1 to enable it.
-y,--yes- Assume yes rather than asking for confirmation before package autoremoval.
If neither the -g nor
-x options are used, the default is to match
pkg-name exactly.
FILES
See pkg.conf(5).
EXAMPLES
Change a package from automatic to non-automatic, which will
prevent autoremove from removing it:
% pkg set -A 0 perl-5.14Change a package from non-automatic to automatic, which will make
autoremove allow it be removed once nothing depends
on it:
% pkg set -A 1 perl-5.14ENVIRONMENT
The following environment variables affect the execution of
pkg set. See
pkg.conf(5) for further description.
