I understand that using portmaster is preferable over portupgrade.
What is the proper portmaster commands in relation to freebsd-update?
Quote http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/updating-freebsdupdate.html :
Most users will want to run a test build using the following command:
# portupgrade -af
# freebsd-update -r 6.3-RELEASE upgrade
# freebsd-update install
# shutdown -r now
# freebsd-update install
All third party software will now need to be rebuilt and
re-installed. This is required as installed software may depend on
libraries which have been removed during the upgrade process. The
ports-mgmt/portupgrade command may be used to automate this process.
The following commands may be used to begin this process:
# portupgrade -f ruby
# rm /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db
# portupgrade -f ruby18-bdb
# rm /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db /usr/ports/INDEX-*.db
# portupgrade -af
# freebsd-update install
Thanks,
Axel
