I have been given the task of updating 9.3 to current release, originally the kernel was built from source. I've checked the kernel and there isn't anything specific I can see will break, is there any point in compiling the base from source these days as opposed to binary update (base only not ports) or is it recommended to do this from source due to the age of the system?
Also with regards to ports, they would definately have been built from source, so I am guessing it would be best to stick to portmaster or something for upgrading the packages and continue the buildng them from source?
Not had do upgrade a system via source for a while
