First, make a list of all your ports (portmaster -L works fine for that). Then csup to RELENG_7. Then follow the instructions from /usr/src/Makefile (the bit about 'upgrade their source'). I've outlined the process below, with my own additions marked with lowercase letters a. Make backups b. Read /usr/src/UPDATING 1. `cd /usr/src' (or to the directory containing your source tree). 2. `make buildworld' 3. `make buildkernel KERNCONF=3DYOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC= ). 4. `make installkernel KERNCONF=3DYOUR_KERNEL_HERE' (default is GENERIC= ). [steps 3. & 4. can be combined by using the "kernel" target] 5. `reboot' (in single user mode: boot -s from the loader prompt). 6. `mergemaster -p' 7. `make installworld' 8. `make delete-old' 9. `mergemaster' 10. `reboot' c. `pkg_delete -a' (delete all your ports) 11. `make delete-old-libs' (in case no 3rd party program uses them anymore) d. Reinstall all root and leaf ports. Dependencies will then be installed automatically.
