My experiences converting a couple of systems from 9-STABLE to 10-STABLE
over the last couple of months were really pretty easy. These were
source updates for both base and ports. Despite changing from pkg_* to
pkg and KMS X drivers at the same time, it was surprisingly smooth.
If you have devel/ccache installed, remove it before starting, though,
it has problems with clang. Using -DNOCLEAN with an existing /usr/obj
can go even faster than ccache: less than two minutes for a buildworld
on my frequently updated i5/SSD system, sometimes less than one minute.
