When doing a major version upgrade of FreeBSD, the last (mandatory) step is to rebuild and reinstall all third party software (ports) (# portupgrade -af ) I have a system with 750+ ports, I guess the portupgrade -af will take something like 30 hours to compile (on a test system with 425 ports portugprade -af took 15 hours). What happens in the periode that not every port is yet rebuilt and reinstalled? Will applications (webserver, print server, X server, and the many other apps) not be working, until these ports (and the ports they depend on) will be successfully recompiled ?
