Hi there, I am going to upgrade my FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE to 9.1-RELEASE according to http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.0R/installation.html However, I don't know how to follow the step below: ##----start here----## # freebsd-update install At this point, users of systems being upgraded from FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE or earlier will be prompted by freebsd-update(8) to rebuild all third-party applications (e.g., ports installed from the ports tree) due to updates in system libraries. After updating installed third-party applications (and again, only if freebsd-update(8) printed a message indicating that this was necessary), run freebsd-update(8) again so that it can delete the old (no longer used) system libraries: ##----end here----## My questions is: how to rebuild all third-party applications? I have kept the ports tree up to date using # portsnap fetch update and # portmaster -Ga every day. Any help will be really appreciated. Regards, Jinsong
