Ah, Ok.

Yes, command line. How do I get the new versions used when I e.g. just type
"pkg_info"?
Are there plans to remove the old tools from base then? I think this would
be a good idea.
I haven't checked if pkgsrc itself picks up the new versions correctly
(didn't install further packages after pkg_install yet), how can I do this?
