I guess the part that somewhat stumps me, is if I am just building a port fresh like mysql, why does it need the old compatibility libs to build it fresh. Does some of this stuff require gcc libs, or I am missing something in the process. On the package stuff, I did load the functions, as I found out the hard way that without running pkg2ng I ended up with all my ports missing. Also I saw Thomas's not about running portmaster, and I have always used portupgrade is that still ok under 10.x, or does it require portmaster to function? --- Howard Leadmon
