Aloha I have a quick question. I am going to upgrade one of my systems from 5.2.1P9 to 5.3Beta7. I have cvsup'd the source and when checking UPDATING I came across this: 20041001: The following libraries had their version number bumped up: /lib/libm.so.2 -> libm.so.3 /lib/libreadline.so.4 -> libreadline.so.5 /usr/lib/libhistory.so.4 -> libhistory.so.5 /usr/lib/libopie.so.2 -> libopie.so.3 /usr/lib/libpcap.so.2 -> libpcap.so.3 FreeBSD 4.10 versions of these libraries will be added to the compat4x collection. If you expect to be able to run old 4.X executables you will need to remove the old versions of these libraries. However note that any 5.X executables you have built will stop working once you remove those old libraries. You should have all your ports/packages rebuilt before removing the old libraries. I had seen some discussion rearding this on the list and had made a note in my head. Am I reading this correct that before I build/install world, I should do a portupgrade -a ??? All of my ports are the latest according to portversion. I just wanted to check before I went any further. Thank you Robert
