pkg-update(8): if multiple repositories are specified, then perform updates in the specified order

[grahamperrin]

A very minor issue:

root@mowa219-gjp4-zbook-freebsd:~ # pkg update -r FreeBSD-base -r FreeBSD-ports ; date
Updating FreeBSD-ports repository catalogue...
FreeBSD-ports repository is up to date.
Updating FreeBSD-base repository catalogue...

root@mowa219-gjp4-zbook-freebsd:~ # 

• I specified FreeBSD-base followed by FreeBSD-ports
• the result was FreeBSD-ports followed by FreeBSD-base (with the provides database between the two, in my case).

Enhancement request

Make the order of actions, and results, consistent with the order at the command line.

Thanks

Thoughts

It's probably true that the end result will be the same with, or without, matching order.

There is, however, slight potential for an end user to misunderstand things by viewing (but not mentally acknowledging) a first action performed on a second repo; a second action performed on a first repo; and so on.
