Greetings. I'm going to upgrade FreeBSD 8.2-Release amd64 on my desktop to 9.0. What I'm supposed to do with installed ports? I know, freebsd-update would ask me to rebuild all ports (I'm planning to do it with portmaster), but should I respect /usr/ports/UPDATING in this case? I mean, is it okay if I'll just run
or there is some kind of rules in /usr/ports/UPDATING which I should follow anyway?
AFAIK, there is gpt-zfs boot loader included into the kernel now and I don't have to build the loader manually. Is that correct?
And one more question. I'd like to use packages when possible, but I couldn't do that before because packages were built with different versions of dependencies (like PERL) than I have. How could I understand which version of PERL I should have if I want to use packages?
# portmaster -a
