Greetings all and my apologies for cross posting! There seems to be a confusion regarding the ABI change in FreeBSD 9 and if this affects the usual upgrade path which includes a full port rebuild. The relevant post is here: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=28831 Frankly, I am also confused because I remember a relevant discussion a few months ago in the lists. Traditionally a major RELEASE upgrade requires a full ports rebuild, however this time there is no COMPAT_FREEBSD8 in GENERIC and most upgraded systems seem to be working fine. On the other hand this is stated in UPDATING: 20110828: Bump the shared library version numbers for libraries that do not use symbol versioning, have changed the ABI compared to stable/8 and which shared library version was not bumped. Done as part of 9.0-RELEASE cycle. Your input would be appreciated! Regards, -- George Kontostanos Aicom telecoms ltd
