Do you see anywhere in the handbook where it says anything > different? I don't see anything int he handbook referencing portmaster, only references to portupgrade. That was my point. for example.... ...................................... All third party software will now need to be rebuilt and re-installed. This is required as installed software may depend on libraries which have been removed during the upgrade process. The ports-mgmt/portupgrade <http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/ports-mgmt/portupgrade/pkg-descr> command may be used to automate this process. The following commands may be used to begin this process: # portupgrade -f ruby # rm /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db # portupgrade -f ruby18-bdb # rm /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db /usr/ports/INDEX-*.db # portupgrade -af Once this has completed, finish the upgrade process with a final call to freebsd-update. Issue the following command to tie up all loose ends in the upgrade process: # freebsd-update install ...................................... It would be nice, since portupgrade is now deprecated, to replace this section (and others), with the portmaster procedure. -lee
