Reporting success on one of my desktops. It's a current/i386
box with a little over 1000 packages (after the upgrade).
I used portupgrade-devel, but started with stale INDEX. For
this reason or not, I stumbled upon the libXft quirk. Stopped
the upgrade when I saw a few pkg_create's to take far too
long because of dependency loop, rebuilt the INDEX with
"make index" (portsdb -U didn't work for me), ran pkgdb -F
and after that portupgrade -a finished without any major
surprises.
mergebase.sh failed, probably because my system is quite
dirty. Even after I removed the conflicting files, it just
failed. I've made the merge myself and been living happily
ever since (so far).
Waiting for portupgrade -a to finish on my laptop.
Thanks, Kris and all of you guys for making this step as
painless as possible - for me and everyone.
Thanks!
