Update

	Creating a restore point Create a restore point before making a major system change or updating programs (see: Restore options).

This step illustrates how to update packages under TwinCAT/BSD. Create a backup of your system and start a trial run with the suffix -n before you update packages. All the packages that can be updated without performing the installation are listed in the trial run.

Beta packages are no longer updated via pkg upgrade once the packages have been released and are no longer listed in the Beckhoff repository. From this point on, the beta packages must be uninstalled and the released packages installed instead.

Update packages as follows:

1. Enter the command doas pkg upgrade -n in the console.
The packages to be updated are displayed.

Checking for upgrades (27 candidates): 100%

287 KiB to be downloaded.

2. Enter the command doas pkg upgrade upgrade on the console, in order to update all packages or doas pkg upgrade <packagename> in order to update a specific package.

Take a close look at the packages to be updated. If there are any ambiguities, read the release information for the package and only then start the update.
Define exceptions and lock packages that should not be updated (see: Lock). Locked packages are not updated, uninstalled or reinstalled.
