I've got a hopefully simple question about library files (/usr/lib) when one completes a "make world" upgrade... Basically, I want to know if there are "old" library files in /usr/lib which I can get rid of after a make world. (for instance, can I get rid of /usr/lib/libc.so.2.2 after upgrading from 2.1.7.1 -> 2.2.2)? I believe that the standard utils (/usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /sbin, gnu) are linked with newly created libraries (e.g. libc.so.3.0). Do previously installed ports which aren't recompiled use old libraries, or are they smart enough to use the libraries in /usr/lib/compat? If they use the old libraries, can I recompile them and then get rid of the old libraries? I'm just trying to keep the disk as clean/uncluttered as possible.
