I followed the instructions in /usr/src/UPDATING, but still had problems. I also did a portupgrade -faP to make the ports as per the release notes. Unfortunately not all worked after that. I had issues with apache22 and clamav, so I rebuilt and reinstalled both of those ports. I still don't have xorg and gnome working. So needless to say this is a much longer update process than previous versions. I did NOT try the binary update from CD or the new binary update utility. I believe most of the issues I have had are because of changes in the libraries specifically to the threads. Oh, I started my update on Friday Morning. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
