There are many "ports" which should be recompiled on "major" transitions such as 4.1-RELEASE->4.1-STABLE, or 4.1.1-STABLE -> 4.2-STABLE. A few that come to mind are: libgtop lsof I'm sure there are others. CVSup'ing the ports collection merely updates you local copy of the "skeleton" of how ports are built. It really won't do anything significant to ensure that programs already installed (as ports before an 'installworld' is done) will still run. Most of the time they do. Sometimes they don't. I've been running "emacs" since I installed 4.1-RELEASE on my box and am now tracking 4.2-BETA/RC. It still runs. However, libgtop is "picky" about the version it runs under (versus what it was compiled under). YMMV. -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds WCCG, CCE, Higher Levels of Abstraction | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 602-868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
