If you have a 8.x or 9.x RELEASE all you have to do is updating to the latest minor-release-patchset and then do a 'freebsd-update upgrade -r 10.0-BETA2', like for every other major release upgrade. I don't know who will manually patch a binary update tool if it's building FreeBSD from sources, but anyway it should be the last note while in the announcement it seems to be the only way to do the upgrade. -- Alex Dupre
