X-BeenThere: freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Discussions about the use of FreeBSD-current List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 07 Sep 2011 09:24:17 -0000 When FreeBSD 9.0_BETA1 was announced, the announcement included a notice that shared library version would be updated some time prior to BETA2, which would necessitate rebuilding all ports. Has this happened yet? I don't want to rebuild all ports at the wrong time. I notice BETA2 has been released but see no announcement. Readme, hardware notes and release notes say nothing specific to the BETA2 release/snapshot. If the shared libraries version bump has not yet occurred, I would want to update in place, if the installer can do that; otherwise I would install BETA2 to a different partition, keeping the old /home and swap. That way, I would still have BETA1 to fall back on for the built ports, before I would finish rebuilding the ports on BETA2. This is on a new computer, with Western Digital Caviar Green 3 TB hard drive, using GPT, so for now I have plenty of space. I already downloaded and dd'ed the amd64 memstick image for amd64, and have looked at the data thereon. Tom
