I will be upgrading my ports tree from 4.1-release to 4.2-release when 4.2
comes out. This is my first ports upgrade. So I was wondering if my action
plan looks right:

- backup my existing 4.1 /usr/ports directory

- untar the 4.2 ports tgz file in /usr/ports

- go to /usr/ports/path/to/application to update each application - do I need
to do this for each individual application I installed from the ports
tree? Is there any
automated way of doing this?

- also is there any way to distinguish applications I installed from the
  package list and applications I installed from the ports tree?

Thanks.
