I have a number of systems that I need to upgrade to 9.3. I have one = system that is the development/test system. Its already at 9.3 and it = has a number of ports/packages installed that need to be on the = production systems. In the past I have built packages for each in = /usr/ports/packages/All and then just mounted that directory via NFS on = the production machines and used pkg_add to install them on the = production machines. =20 Some of these are packages in that they use the default configuration. = Unfortunately, some of them have to be compiled via the ports system as = they use non-standard options. I have made a package for each of them. None of the production systems have pkg on them. They all use the old = packages stuff. I suspect I will first need to convert them over to the = pkg system. Thats not a big deal as its a fairly quick process. = However, how do I then upgrade the ports/packages from the test system? = The production systems can't be used to recompile the ports as that = would involve too much down time.=
