Is this upgrade from source, or is it through binary packages?
Binaries. Why would user need to mess with compiling from sources?
I wouldn't want to upgrade everything all-or-nothing because if one package
fails, it could stop the whole upgrade.
But it looks like Haiku system backs up old packages so it's not
all-or-nothing.
You can ask pkgman to update a single package (and dependencies as
needed) or everything. If the resulting system doesn't boot, from the
boot menu you can boot it to an older state. There is no way, yet, to
restore it to an older state permanently (well, you can move the
packages manually).
