I do not claim that this is "best practice." But what I do, during my
weekly updates of my "production" systems (at home) is:
* "Clone" the active slice to the other slice.
* Build the world & suitable kernels on the build machine.
* Mount /usr/src and /usr/obj from the build machine.
* Set DESTDIR to a suitable directory on the other slice.
* make installkernel ${DESTDIR} && \
mergemaster -U -u 0022 -p && \
make installworld ${DESTDIR} && \
mergemaster -F -U -u 0022 -i && \=20
make delete-old ${DESTDIR}
* reboot from the other slice.
* Mount /usr/src and /usr/obj from the build machine.
* Stop all services that depend on 3rd-party software (ports/packages).
* pkg upgrade
* make delete-old-libs
* reboot
(I elided a few minor embellishments; the above are the essential steps.)
It seems to work for me.
Peace,
david
