I want to stay at a 'production' version of FreeBSD. I'm currently running 4.8-RELEASE, which I installed via ftp over the Internet perhaps 2 weeks ago. All I want to do is have the latest ports, bugfixes and source code. I'm not interested in being on the 'bleeding edge'. I have used cvsupit to update my ports and base cources. Here is my /etc/cvsupfile: *default host=cvsup11.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs *default tag=RELENG_4 *default delete use-rel-suffix src-base *default tag=. ports-all doc-all The question is: How can I determine if it is necessary to do a 'make world'? Thanks, Charles
