Upgrading 10.4 to 11.1

[Robert Fitzpatrick via freebsd-questions]

I did a freebsd-update fetch install on 10.4 and then the standard
upgrade to 11-RELEASE p9 with no problems. Now I'm ready to run upgrade
all the ports and did a portsnap fetch update first, but this doesn't
look right:

root@dev:~ # portupgrade -a
[Reading data from pkg(8) ... - 150 packages found - done]
** Port marked as IGNORE: www/apache24:
Invalid perl5 version 5.18
** Port marked as IGNORE: textproc/aspell:
Invalid perl5 version 5.18
...

Getting the Invalid perl5 for all the packages, I tried doing pkg
upgrade perl5 and ended up adding /usr/local/bin/perl and the ports
still looking at perl5.18 in /usr/bin/perl. Have I done something wrong
or need to handle Perl separate first?

Default PERL version changed. So you have to upgrade to default PERL
version which is 5.26. The long and short of it you have solve that
problem by handling PERL as a stand alone upgrade.

I do upgrade all installed ports by deleting them first and
installing them again on major upgrades

Yes, I was just thinking of doing. I moved old perl out of the way and
created a sym link to the new version in /usr/local/bin and now have
portupgrade working normally. Showing many packages deleted of course.

Is there a way to delete and put back all the packages currently installed?

Here's one way using the handy pkg leaf alias to get packages with
no dependencies.

pkg leaf > my_packages
pkg delete -a
pkg install `cat my_packages`

If my_packages is large you may need to use xargs instead of
backticks.

Interesting. The leaf command is not documented in the -l list or in the man page. However, it works just as described above.

This is why

$ pkg help leaf
`leaf` is an alias to `query -e '%#r == 0' '%n-%v'`

There's a bunch of handy aliases defined in /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf

Have a look at /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf.

The pkg leaf doesn't seem to list all installed packages. It does not
list apache24 or aspell or autoconf and more. At first I thought it was
not listing packages not found in ports, but I see
mysql51-server-5.1.73_2 on the list.

It only shows packages with no dependents thus leaving out packages
that satisfy a dependency. Try pkg info -r on the ones you're not seeing
and see if that doesn't lead you to something in the list.

Very good, yes they do. When running the pkg install against my saved
list, it get kicked out on the first one. Do I need to remove the
versions from the list of packages?

It would help if they change - sorry it's been a while since I last
did this.

Aside from the perl problem, "portupgrade -a" probably wont work anyway
because portupgrade doesn't supports flavors
