How to upgrade

[Alexandre L.]

I think you wrong. 
I read the Official Announce for FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.0R/announce.html
You can find this sentence : "Systems running 7.[012]-RELEASE, 8.0-BETA[1234], or 8.0-RC[123] can upgrade as follows:"

You can upgrade directly from 7.1 to 8.0 with the steps described in the Handbook (from sources with csup or binaries with freebsd-update). 

You must recompile your ports after this major upgrade.

Alexandre.
