No, you'll need to fully upgrade to -current, but your installed packages and ports will mostly likely work ok since the libraries they depend on will not be removed in the upgrade. However, there may be other changes that could cause breakage, and upgrading everything is the only sure way. This is much less painful that it used to be thanks Mark Espie's great work on the packaging tools. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
