This will avoid binaries becoming linked to inconsistent > sets of libraries when future port upgrades rebuild one port but not > others that link to it. This can be done with: # portupgrade -faP etc... Why!!! Do you know how much time I have to spend with my PC to reinstall all of this programs from ports? Only openoffice takes one day! And where is Gnome and such...There must be other way...I would not reinstall my packages ;) Then the servers. Why should I reinstall all my databases and such? I always liked that FreeBSD base (OS) is separated from packages. And no matter what I do with the packages, my OS will always work. I don't want dependency hell like in Linux. Now you are telling me that my database might not work after upgrade to a new version. Is that it? -- One cannot sell the earth upon which the people walk Tacunka Witco
