I have uploaded full package sets for i386 and amd64 6.2-STABLE systems. These will make their way out onto the various mirrors according to their usual update cycle, but the two servers in the ftp.freebsd.org pool appear to have complete sets already. Instead of compiling the new x.org upgrade from source, you may wish to use the precompiled packages instead. This will be most useful for users who have not enabled special customizations in /etc/make.conf. To upgrade using the precompiled packages where available, add the 'P' flag to the portupgrade commands listed in UPDATING. Other branches and architectures will follow later. I am currently building 5.x packages for i386 and amd64; 7.0 packages are awaiting some further source changes that would otherwise invalidate them, and sparc64 and ia64 packages 6.x will be ready in about a month or so. Users of these systems should avoid precompiled packages for now, since you will be downloading xorg 6.9 packages that may interfere or conflict with a partial xorg 7.2 installation. Kris
