I grabbed one of the late December source code images from releng3.freebsd.org. I compiled a new kernel first, then did a make buildworld && make installworld. Then I merged any changes in /etc/default/rc.conf with the version in the source image. I also search for any new files to for inclusion in etc. I held my breath and rebooted. Took about 2 hours, never missed a beat. My ppp came up no problem, postgre and apache all startup up with no problem. I have heard of a lot of problems when trying to upgrade from binaries.
