Hi Baptiste!

Thanks. The CONSERVATIVE_UPGRADE mode in 1.4.3 works fine.
Ports annotated to myrepo is now upgraded from myrepo while the rest is taken
from FreeBSD. Good.



However, I think you need to explain more about Priority, and possibly remove
conflicting information, in the manpage for pkg.conf.

I assume that "priority" and "repo order" are the same thing.
The command 'pkg -v -v' show the repo order.
No matter if I set priority: 15 on myrepo and priority: 1 on FreeBSD, or vice
versa, 'pkg -v -v' always show FreeBSD first and then myrepo.

If this is *not* an error, this need to be better explained in the manual.

Right now the manual states:
     Repositories are prioritized in the order they are found on the REPOS_DIR
     search path, with individual repository configuration files in the same
     directory processed in alphabetical order.  Earlier files take prece-
     dence, meaning that packages will be downloaded from them preferentially
     where the same package is available from several repositories.  This be-
     haviour may be overridden per-package by adding a repository annotation
     to the installed package.  See pkg-repository(8) for details.
I believe this needs to be updated.


Also, 'pkg -v -v' should be updated to always show the Priority of each listed
repo (which it doesn't in v1.4.3), imho.
