Feature request for pkg-devel

[Jeffrey Bouquet]

I buillt today's pkg-devel  and running a simple "pkg-static upgrade" from /src/ segfaults and
exits.

That might be an edge case (would not happen if installed, as usual, instead)
OR
pkg-devel (and maybe pkg) could use a full-backup-before-upgrade-install option, probably on
by default, to avoid such breakage.
OR 
maybe both apply (/s/OR/AND/)

I'd rather see effort toward the latter than testing the former...  similar to "portmaster -w " but
more comprehensive.   I'd certainly use it each time AFAIK.

Thanks.   No hurry.
