How can i upgrade to 7.2 from 7.1?

With csup(1) and updating/upgrading or freebsd-update(8).

How much time takes portupdate -a? I'm waiting for 24hrs and still runing

 

[SirDice]

That depends on how many ports you have installed.

Did you read /usr/ports/UPDATING before doing portupdate -a? Some ports require to be build in a certain order.

 

[moecraft]

i just use freebsd-update, and then i used pkg_version and finally used portupdate -a, It had been compiling and installing package for hours and hours i'm turning afraid about that

 

[SirDice]

You probably have a lot of outdated ports.

Will be finish someday? =(

That is why I always upgrade a few at a time. One then
usually knows how long it may take (either by

 ls -lac  work

in the port, or other means
which take more setting up (I have scripts which record
each build time in files within the port). Or, after
a port finishes one can...

 touch _Took_anHour_

so one knows
the next time how long it may take
