I guess I was lucky in that all my "important" ports: postfix, amavisd-new, cyrus-imapd, mod_php, mysql40-server and apache2 survived the OS upgrade without the need to re-compile them. I *am* still planning to re-compile them anyway, I'm just glad I didn't *have* to do it all in one night. Just wanted to record this as a data point in the list archives, in case someone else is looking at a same sort of upgrade. -- Toomas Aas
