Re: ports binary upgrade question for 9.2
You don't have to recompile all ports when switching to a new _minor_ version. Minor versions are binary compatible. So in this case you don't have to do anything. Thanks for answer! I'm aware of compatibility. However, I'd like to have it all fresh, especially for luakit. I cannot find the server, to put the name in conf file for pkg. Txz packages are probably not ready yet. Further, reading manual, I assume portmaster to be happy to upgrade binary. I used it to install ports, recompiling it, due the lack of bin files for 9.1. -P should recompile only if it cannot find binary file. -PP would avoid any compiling whatever happens. To my understanding.

ports binary upgrade question for 9.2
Due to trip to make, I will have to wait few days to upgrade my nodes to 9.2 release. But, I'd like to learn the easiest way to handle ports. Thanks to Matthew Seaman, I will try out txz repos, when I find the correct address for that. Otherwise, I assume portmaster might do the job equally well. Reading manual, I guess flags like -P -a or -PP -a are made to fit? Next to think would be to recompile some ports on lap- top, having intel 3000 graphics. I did it with kms lines in make.conf, for 9.1. Does it change in new release? Compiling all ports was long and tedious task and I want to avoid it now. My best bet would be to binary upgrade and recompile just what I have to. Best regards all.

So in this case you don't have to do anything. Only when changing to a new major version (e.g. from 9.x to the upcoming 10.0) it is advised to delete all ports and then re-install them, because e.g. shared library versions can change.
