NAME
       pkg-compare

SYNOPSIS
       pkg-compare

       pkg-compare new_path old_path

       pkg-compare -m -p new_path old_path

DESCRIPTION
       This  program  reads  local.sqlite  in  new_path	 and  compares list of
       installed packages in local.sqlite in old_path. If a package  is	 found
       in  old_path  which  is	not  in	 new_path then the name of the port is
       printed, one per line.

       Command line switches:
	    -p	 prefix each package with 'pkg install -Rf'
	    -m	 show manually installed packages only, no deps

       Upgrade Strategy:

       # mv /usr/local /usr/old-local
       # mv /var/db/pkg /var/db/old-pkg
       # cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg
       # make
       # make install clean
       # cd /usr/ports/databases/sqlite3
       # make
       # make install clean
       # pkg-compare -p -m /var/db/pkg /var/db/old-pkg > upgrade.sh
       # yes | sh upgrade.sh

OPTIONS
       -p     Prefix each package with 'pkg install -Rf'.

FILES
       pkg-compare   uses   local.sqlite   which   is	 created/managed    by
       /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg (maybe not anymore?).
