+5. Setting up updates with the package manager
+
+ If you only need to build this specific version of the toolchain, then you
+ are done and can skip this step. However, if you are planning to upgrade to
+ future versions, then going every time through the bootstrap steps will be
+ tedious. Instead, we can use the bpkg package manager to manage upgrades
+ automatically. Note also that without periodic upgrades your version of the
+ toolchain may become too old to be able to upgrade itself. In this case you
+ will have to fallback onto the bootstrap process.
+
+ First, choose a directory where you would like bpkg to build everything,
+ for example, build2-toolchain. Then:
+
+ $ mkdir build2-toolchain
+ $ cd build2-toolchain
+
+ $ bpkg create \
+ cxx \
+ config.cxx.poptions=-I/usr/local/include \
+ config.cxx.loptions=-L/usr/local/lib \
+ config.bin.rpath=/usr/local/lib \
+ config.install.root=/usr/local \
+ config.install.root.sudo=sudo
+
+ $ bpkg add http://pkg.cppget.org/1/alpha
+ $ bpkg fetch
+ $ bpkg build build2 bpkg
+ $ bpkg install build2 bpkg
+
+ Later, to upgrade to new a new version of the toolchain, simply execute:
+
+ $ bpkg fetch
+ $ bpkg build build2 bpkg
+ $ bpkg install build2 bpkg
