Portupgrade -af question

[Zoltan Frombach]

Don, your idea is good to minimize the downtime. But I also prefer to have a 
"clean" system without library mapping. So I think I'm gonna grab the 
recently pre-compiled (for 5-stable) packages with portupgrade -afP. Once 
it's done, I will recompile the few special-care ports, the ones that need 
options like -WITH/WITHOUT or need local patching. I can also recompile the 
ones that are out-of-date. I can do this one-by-one with portupgrade -f 
portname. I think it will work. Thank you guys all for your advice on this.
