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?
