hello...
how painful is to upgrade srcs from 6 to 6.2? all backup and stuff?
Not very painful, though I would definitely recommend a backup.
Even though the upgrade process is quite reliable, it is easy to
make a mistake or change your mind about something in the middle
and so you might want your old files.
Personally I just backup "/etc", which contains the configuration for
the base system. It's possible to mess-up these file within
mergemaster, and it would be a pain to recreate them. Everything else
is reinstallable, or user data, and the threat to the latter
isn't much greater than when upgrading ports.
