Recompile every port, so all dependencies are the 6.0 libs. 1. and 2. are not an option if you plan on eventually compiling new ports=20 after the upgrade - you will most certainly get mixed linkage, which will=20 result in runtime errors.=20 Compat5x should only be used for leaf-ports (i.e, applications and librarie= s=20 which aren't linked to anything else) - for example software that is=20 distributed as dynamically linked binaries only. Option 4 is certainly the safest thing to do (and you could just upgrade fr= om=20 binary packages instead of recompiling). =2D-=20 ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org --nextPart1438659.xIPjT7Rrs5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBDUpnlXhc68WspdLARAu4bAJ4p1DssYeYek4pdFwBoGRLN66lVsQCgknG9 i/vtgF1HluSnrLbG53lTeuQ= =Rch+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1438659.xIPjT7Rrs5--
