This process has always worked for me upgrading a fairly standard
desktop machine:
Get a list of status of installed ports
portmanager -s > somelist
Extract list of category/port needing updating, with vi, whatever
Do something like [sorry not exact syntax as I don't have access to a
freebsd machine]:
foreach i (`cat portlist`)
foreach? cd /usr/ports/$i && make config
foreach? end
I've never installed print/ghostscript-gpl so I don't know if my method
would break with it, but I do have to obviously treat java/jdk15 specially.
