I started out on FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE, then upgraded via CD to 2.2.6-RELEASE, then to 2.2.7-RELEASE. Then I learned about cvsup, a dream come true! I upgraded to 2.2.8-STABLE. Now after a month or so of running 2.2.8-STABLE I decided to take my chances and be brave and upgrade to 3.1-STABLE (scared me to death to be honest). Now I have done that and everything seems to be going ok, mostly. My main problems are dealing with all the hundreds of old packages that I still have from 2.2.5 and 2.2.6. I have never been able to figure out ports, half of them fail building on me. I couldn't build the newest TK and TCL for instance, so I am still using the old 2.2.6 packages for them. That would be ok, I can live with that....but half of the packages don't even work on 3.1-STABLE for me now. Is there any possible way to upgrade packages? Or even download all the newer ones blocked instead of having to buy a new CD and try to sort through them? Thanks for your help. -- Jonathan C.
