tracking 4.4-stable. Should I expect a few ports to be broken after I rebuild the kernel and userland? I guess I don't quite believe that binary compatibility exists in the real world. I know that updating the kernel without updating the base userland can cause problems, so it seems like I should rebuild all my ports. If there is any chance that any port will be broken any percent of the time, I'll just rebuild everything to be safe. Even though a port may appear to be okay without recompilation, it could fail in an unexpected way at some point. But maybe this is not the case? What are your experiences here? --Matt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
