since there is no 9.x forum, i thought i could post here.
just wanted to let everyone know that I completed a 7.2 ( modified with ports instead of DA provided apps ) to 9.1 release upgrade successfully, and everything is working fine.
used freebsd-update for kernel/system
this is 64bit, and all ports were updated with portmaster.
bind update was slightly complicated to 9.8.3 as the named config files required manual merging, but it worked out.
the only thing was exim kept restarting so the whole name for the exim-xxxx.xx had to be put in the service.status file as opposed to just 'exim'
a lot of the portmasters had to be restarted since dependencies had changed ( and some ports have been completely deleted. but as a result everything was cleaned and rebuild and performance is much better.
everything took around 2 days worth of effort ( builds, troubleshooting, rebuilding )
