I've been upgrading my sources and ports collection via cvsup for a while now. I have a simple question. Are the ports tied in anyway to the system sources? Or are they completely independent of one another? For example, I cvsuped the sources and the ports tree. Then I use portupgrade after updating the package database to upgrade a port before I "make world" or update my kernel. Would this confuse the process of rebuilding a port? The reason I'm asking is because I've upgraded my sources from the 4.8_RELEASE to 4.9_RELEASE. After reading some comments about it 4.9 on the questions list, I've become hesitant to actually compile it. -- mbueide (at) charter (dot) net .
