# frebesd-update -r 7.2-RELEASE upgrade

After upgrading, download the ports tree:

# portsnap fetch install
# portupgrade -a

In a month or so, do it again with 8.0-RELEASE, and run

# portsnap fetch update
# portupgrade -af

This will rebuild *all* your ports, not just those that are out-of-date.
Strongly recommended when upgrading to a new major release.

BTW, this belongs on -questions, not on -chat.
