Yes, the tree is not a problem, but the ports are. XFree + gnome2 are
almost everything. And all depends on others...
I updated to the "current" ports tree also, but some of them are not even
available as a package. Also portupgrade used a download path
.../stable_4_8 ... or similar and did not find the packages. Getting them
manually was possible, but I ended up with partial upgrade and
nonfunctional X. Something went wrong.
pkg_delete -a and reinstall restored it back to 4.8...
BTW, there are a package-directory current-4 or stable-4 in
ftp.freebsd.org. I wonder why there would not be a ports tree available
for it. I could give a try with manual update according to that directory
versions.
