Should I rebuild all ports?
I have just upgraded FreeBSD 5.3BETA6 to BETA7. According to /usr/src/UPDATING, some of the system libraries have been upgraded, and we should rebuild all ports if we want to use the new libraries. So, 1. should I rebuild all ports? (I think it should take one whole day...) 2. If I am to rebuild all ports, what is the command I should use?

Best is if you install the port portupgrade and then do: portupgrade -fa If you just want to compile a app that doesn't work do: portupgrade -fR portname -- Alex Please copy the original recipients, otherwise I may not read your reply.

According to my understanding, the apps compiled before the updates are using the old libraries, and the apps compiled after the update should utilize the new libraries. As long as I don't remove the old libraries, all apps should work fine. I was just curious to know whether I should recompile all apps so that they may work better by using the new libraries. Or will they? :) --- Choy Kho Yee url: http://dotkoyi.infoseek.ne.jp/ blog: http://dotkoyi.blogspot.com/ There are only 10 types of people in the world, i.e. those who understand binary numbers and those who do not. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks for pointing me to the script!! I have saved the script to my computer, run it and it said that there are 60 packages that I should upgrade. I will upgrade them slowly when I have the spare time. However, I still don't get how /etc/libmap.conf can be used to work around this problem without rebuilding the ports.

You can remove the old lib afther with the worry that some apps suddenly don't work anymore. -- Alex Please copy the original recipients, otherwise I may not read your reply.
