Upgrading is noted as being a rough process, however, a one thing which make it more difficult: /var/* appears to be nuked whilst /usr and friends survive. (Either that or I did select "Y" for NEWFS which I don't recall doing). This prevents a meaningful attempt to upgrade packages, which should be easily possible with a perl script of sorts, along with losing logs, etc. btw, has anyone got a perl script to upgrade all the install packages in /var/db/pkg ?
