upgrade from 6.1-RELEASE to 6.3-RELEASE
Hello list. I'm about to upgrade from 6.1-RELEASE to 6.3-RELEASE from source and I'd like to ask a couple of questions. 1) Do the system interface change? That is, will I have to recompile all ports after upgrading? 2) Any gotcha, hints or things to be aware of? Of course, as usual I'll take full backups before beginning the upgrade.. Best regards.
