I understand that using portmaster is preferable over portupgrade. What is the proper portmaster commands in relation to freebsd-update? Quote http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/updating-freebsdupdate.html : Most users will want to run a test build using the following command: # portupgrade -af # freebsd-update -r 6.3-RELEASE upgrade # freebsd-update install # shutdown -r now # freebsd-update install 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 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 # freebsd-update install Thanks, Axel
