+
+ <para>Historically, software within the &os; Ports
+ Collection can undergo major version number changes. Unlike
+ <application>pkg_install</application>,
+ <application>pkgng</application> has a built-in command to
+ update package origins. For example, if <filename
+ role="package">lang/php5</filename> was originally at
+ version <literal>5.3</literal>, but has been renamed to
+ <filename role="package">lang/php53</filename> for the
+ inclusion of version <literal>5.4</literal>,
+ <application>pkg_install</application> would require the use
+ of additional software such as <filename
+ role="package">ports-mgmt/portmaster</filename> to update
+ the package database, reflecting from which port the
+ installation originated.</para>
+
+ <para>Unlike the <filename
+ role="package">ports-mgmt/portmaster</filename> and
+ <filename role="package">ports-mgmt/portupgrade</filename>
+ ports, the order in which the new and old versions are
+ listed differ. For <application>pkgng</application>, the
+ syntax is <command>pkg set -o
+ <replacable>category/oldport</replaceable>:<replaceable>category/newport</replaceable></command>.</para>
+
+ <para>For example, to change the package origin for the above
+ example, run:</para>
+
+ <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>pkg set -o lang/php5:lang/php53</userinput></screen>
+
+ <para>As another example, to update <filename
+ role="package">lang/ruby18</filename> to <filename
+ role="package">lang/ruby19</filename>, run:</para>
+
+ <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>pkg set -o lang/ruby18:lang/ruby19</userinput></screen>
+
+ <para>As a final example, to change the origin of the
+ <filenmae>libglut</filename> shared libraries from <filename
+ role="package">graphics/libglut</filename> to <<filename
+ role="package">graphics/freeglut</filename>, run:</para>
+
+ <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>pkg set -o graphics/libglut:graphics/freeglut</userinput></screen>
+ <note>
+ <para>When changing package origins, in most cases it is
+ important to reinstall packages that are dependent on the
+ package that has had the origin changed. To force a
+ reinstallation of dependent packages, run:</para>
+
+ <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>pkg install -Rf <replaceable>category/freeglut</replaceable></userinput></screen>
