Actually compat port messes things a bit if a newly compiled binary is
looking for new lib and it's next not-so-fresh dependency looks for the
older one you'll get one set of symbols imported twice. libmap.conf is a
just a more painless solution, yet you should rebuild all binaries.
There's a good port sysutils/libchk which you can use to deal with this.
It rummages through your bin/lib directories and reports any
discrepancies it finds. It outputs something like:
Unresolvable link(s) found in: /usr/local/bin/lp
libssl.so.5
libcrypto.so.5
libcrypt.so.4
I use this to create the list of packages I need to rebuild:
pkg_which `grep Unresolvable libchk.out | sed 's|.* in: ||'` | sort -u |
grep -v '^\?$'
This list can be later given to something like portupgrade.
The same file can be used to automatically generate libmap.conf. However
I havn't look at it.
