Theoretically most existing packages should continue to work, with the exception of things tied to low level kernel details, such as lsof. I've always had a hard time getting full upgrades of all packages to work reliably, and often ended falling back to getting a list of installed leaf packages, and doing a (mostly) clean install from scratch. However, you can try "pkgin full-upgrade" and see if it works for you. (assuming you just want to install pre-built packages, and don't have customizations to the builds) Eric
