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
