pkgng and updated packages

Hi,
I run my own pkgng repo (via poudriere) and it seems to work great.
However, I've got more questions...
- when PHP got updated to 5.3.21 (from 5.3.20), all the other stuff
that depends on it (PECL-*, pear-*) got rebuilt, too.
(In my ports-tree, I just imported the update of PHP and nothing
else)
- but on the client, when I ran pkg upgrade, only the php-packages got
upgraded. Is that correct? Shouldn't it also update the PECL and pear
packages?
- how do I re-install all packages? I will soon upgrade some systems
from 8.3 to 9.1 and I want to reduce the number of systems I build
packages for. Before pkgng, I would just pkg_delete everything then
re-install and do a diff on the output of pkg_info |cut -f 1 -d " ".
I though there might be an easier way...
- is there a make.conf switch to completely disable pkg_* or do I have
to remove the binaries myself? Will they re-appear after a
freebsd-update -r or even after a simple freebsd-update? If I install
postfix, there is a switch in rc.conf do disable it completely and I
think there should be something similar.
Best Regards,
Rainer
