To: Mark Tinka Cc: Questions at FreeBSD , Walter Ian Kaye Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.20 X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.20 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2015 06:05:03 -0000 I did something similar last year and upgraded to the last 7.x release then the last 8.x then the last 9.x then 10.0. The package setup was the biggest bear. In v9 while still using the old pkg system i visually examined /var/db/pkg, removed all packages, installed the pkg sysytem and then reinstalled the packages I wanted.
