Hi,

I may be in a position to have to upgrade a FreeBSD 8.2 host to a 
supported version (so I can install the latest packages).

Obviously, this is still with the old pkg_* tools.

Do I do the conversion at the end (when I'm on 12.1) or at the beginning 
(when I'm on 9.3)?

I have my own pourdriere package builder and thanks to some hoarding, I 
think I still have pretty much all the packages even of 9.something, 
somewhere.
