The same way it always is..when the shared library version is updated, the LIB_DEPENDS of any dependent ports will be updated to track it, and users who use an appropriate tool like portupgrade won't have any problems. > For what it's worth, I had to link libfreetype.so.9 to so.8 because > my xterms didn't want to startup anymore. This is probably because of an incorrect upgrade. Using portupgrade should solve this unless it's an actual bug in dependencies somewhere.
