X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2006 05:38:24 -0000 Earlier today, after a portsnap, I noticed a lot of ports with new revisions. I checked the UPDATING file, but it had nothing new in it (something about acroread7 was the latest entry). I decided to just do a simple portupgrade -a and let it rebuild everything (this is on a laptop with Xorg, Gnome2, etc.). Sometime later I portsnapped a server machine and noticed that there was now an updated UPDATING file explaining that the ports revisions were bumped because of the libtool change. It seems I portsnapped my laptop at a bad time, as it had apparently already gotten the ports after the libtool change but not the updated UPDATING file. (Note that I installed FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE on this laptop only 2 days ago with a fresh portstree so I don't think the bumped ports could have from some previous change). I have read the UPDATING entry 3 times now but I'm still not really sure what it means. Fortunately it seems that my laptop's portupgrade -a went OK except a dependency of subversion (apr-db4) failing to configure, but since I don't need svn at the moment I just removed it altogether and let it be for now. My question basically is, can I expect more problems later on, if so, should I rebuild my system from scratch?
