Hi folks!

When upgrading from 8.4 to 9.3,in preparation to go from 9.3 to 10.2,
does it make sense to do a full port upgrade, after checking
/usr/ports/UPDATING (of course?)

Something like a 
% portupgrade -a

Between the update to 9.3 and the update to 10.2?  Or can I "get away
with" a update from 8.4 to 9.3, then update 9.3 to 10.2, then doa
portupgrade -a?

(and I'm open to a "better" method of upgrading ports - I've just been
using a script to do the portupgrade since 2.2)

Thanks!

Bryan
