Quoting Marko Lerota <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
In http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.0R/announce.html says
Updating Existing Systems
An upgrade of any existing system to FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE constitutes
a major version upgrade, so no matter which method you use to update
an older system you should reinstall any ports you have installed on
the machine. This will avoid binaries becoming linked to inconsistent
sets of libraries when future port upgrades rebuild one port but not
others that link to it. This can be done with:
# portupgrade -faP
etc...
Why!!! Do you know how much time I have to spend with my PC to reinstall
all of this programs from ports? Only openoffice takes one day! And where
is Gnome and such...There must be other way...I would not reinstall my
packages ;)
Then the servers. Why should I reinstall all my databases and such? I always
liked that FreeBSD base (OS) is separated from packages. And no matter what I
do with the packages, my OS will always work. I don't want dependency
hell like in Linux. Now you are telling me that my database might not work
after upgrade to a new version. Is that it?
While not a recommended substitution for "good housekeeping". I thought it
worth mentioning:
