Re: upgrade 7 -> 7.2
You don't have to rebuilt all ports when you upgrade from 7.0 to 7.2, it is, in general, only required when you upgrade for one major version to another one (6.x -> 7.x or 7.x to 8.x) On Mon, 2009-05-25 at 14:30 +0200, Pieter Donche wrote: > I have to upgrade a few FreeBSD7 machines to FreeBSD7.2 > (this is new to me) > One machine has very few third party ports installed (33), the other > over 600 ...

Also, one I had one screen asking for options for libiconv 1.11_1 where I had to tab to OK and press enter. What is the 600 packages system has 20 of more of such screens, waiting for user input.
