Dogfood and the eating thereof

I finally got rid of my last FreeBSD 4.x machine; this very web server has been upgraded to 6.0-BETA5 today.
The whole process took about 9 hours, including backups; this is a very slow machine and I installed a whole bunch of apps from ports rather than packages (and I was being extra paranoid since this is also my mail server).
The one snag is that I couldn’t install the textproc/docproj port due to breakage in textproc/docbook-xsl, but I’ll survive (or install it from packages).
Found a bug in www/lighttpd’s start-up script along the way; PR filed, but there has to be a nicer way of dealing with this than my “fix”. Still, after 9 hours at this desk I’m not looking for it right now.
