This is the "I'm lucky" case. Most probably you need 3-5 full port build runs until everyting which worke= d before works after the update too. But the ports tree is already tagged for 6.0 and the cluster is building the packages for every architecture. I also don't think we should switch the default such short before a release without important reasons (like the security reason which was the cause of the change from 7.x to 8.0). Luckily I had much of the work for the 7.x -> 8.0 transition done already (several hours spread over several months), but Kris and I spend several hours at Christmas to get it into a shape which we could ship. If you have a newer linux_dri version which works with linux_base-8, we can update the port and ask portmgr if they can update the release-packages.
