When migrating from 6.x to 7.x and to do system refreshes within a
given release branch, I did/do this:
- Get sources
- mergemaster -i
- make buildworld buildkernel
- go single user
- make installworld installkernel
- reboot
I now wish to do the same to get to the 8.x branch, BUT ... somewhere on
USENET, someone commented that you have to also reinstall/rebuild
all the packages/ports when you do this. This was news to me. Is there
some reason the entire application base has to be reinstalled when
moving to a new branch? If so, has this always been the case or is it
new for 8.x? My 6.x -> 7.x upgrade went flawlessly using the method
above without touching the ports/packages tree.
TIA,
