I have considered that. There are a few ports installed on this system however, MySQL and Apache being the most important. How does one go about upgrading to a newer release and ensuring that the ports of "pristine" also when the upgrade is completed. I was thinking of this approach, please advise if I'm mistaken. 1) comment all installed ports from auto-loading in rc.conf 2) upgrade kernel to newest release (7.1) 3) upgrade user land applications 4) csup the ports tree 5) portupgrade -a 6) uncomment the commented lines from rc.conf 7) reboot and hope all works as planned Does this sound appropriate?
