Yes, that's the reason and that was what I discovered a few seconds after fireing up 'make install' in /usr/ports/x11/kde; to give one example: it is building KDE 3.4.2 and not 3.4.0 which was used by 5.4-REL; > What is the point in installing a > new release of FreeBSD and using 'old' ports. > > Just install FreeBSD 6.0 and use the packages provided with the RELEASE, > or cvsup your ports tree and do a fresh install of the ports you need.
