Hello all,

I am running:

$ uname -a 
FreeBSD pipe.cs.vt.edu 4.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE #0: Mon Mar 20 22:50:22 GMT 2000     root@monster.cdrom.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC  i386

and I have the most up-to-date ports tree.  I just did a cvsup.

However, when I try to build new ports, I get the following error.

: Your system is too old to use this bsd.port.mk. You need a fresh make world or an upgrade kit. Please go to http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/ or a mirror site and follow the instructions.

Does this really mean that I need to upgrade to the newest stable version of
FreeBSD by doing a make world?

Does anyone know any ways around this, short of doing a make world?

Thank you.
