Hi,

I installed databases/mariadb101-server a while ago and I would like to move it to the latest version which is mariadb103-server.
When I go to /usr/ports/databases/mariadb103-server I cannot find a README file explain how to upgrade from previous version.
Could someone please point in the right direction?

Thank you
 
It's simple really. Stop the service, uninstall the old, install the new version, start the service and run mysql_upgrade(1). Restart the service again.

But as with any upgrade, make sure you have recent backups, just in case.
