Hi There,

Thank you for all your comments, advices.

The process has run without any issue like this:
1. On the backup 7.2 I've build the 8.0 STABLE release.
2. Copied the new kernel, then reboot.
3. Installed the distribution 8.0, postinstall, etcupdate, reboot.

Now all the packages work as expected. Super reliable system. Congrat 
for developers!!!

At the moment I'm rebuilding the installed packages to 8.0 ABI. Then 
I'll upgrade the production machine with just a binary installation and 
pkgin upgrade.


Regards,
