Hi there

I want to upgrade from 9.0 to 9.1.
In the Handbook Ch. 25 Updating and Upgrading it is described how to update to 8.1

My question is the following commands are compulsory for upgrading from 9.0 to 9.1?
Code: 
# portupgrade -f ruby
# rm /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db
# portupgrade -f ruby18-bdb
# rm /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db /usr/ports/INDEX-*.db
# portupgrade -af

thank you
 
FreeBSD makes a big distinction between the base system (the operating system itself) and additional applications installed from ports or packages.

The commands shown only rebuild all ports, they do not affect the operating system. That is not needed for minor version upgrades, like upgrading from FreeBSD 9.0 to FreeBSD 9.1. Those commands, or something similar, would be used after doing a major version upgrade, say from FreeBSD 8.2 to FreeBSD 9.1.

That section of the Handbook needs to be updated, and in fact I have a fairly big edit of that section waiting for feedback. I may just commit it now, because the existing part is misleading.
 
Thank you for your reply. So, to understand well, to upgrade to 9.1 it is enough
Code: 
# freebsd-update -r 9.1-RELEASE upgrade
and follow the instructons?
