HEADS UP: MAJOR changes to the ports system
Sorry for the wide distribution, but it is critical that -CURRENT users hear this. Two _MAJOR_ changes just went in to the ports tree that are bound to cause some pain to -CURRENT users. The first is the change in default threading libraries. The ports system now uses -lpthread when linking ports instead of -lc_r. Binaries that wind up with both libc_r and libpthread in them will cause problems. In that case, it is imperative that you report this to the port's maintainer ASAP. You can use pkg_info -W /path/to/binary to determine which port installed it. Second, Perl 5.8.2 is now the default version of Perl in -CURRENT since the 5.2 split. This replaces Perl 5.6.1 as the default. Note: Perl 5.00503 is still the default version of Perl in the 4.X base OS. If you experience problems with any of these changes (or with the other recent changes listed in /usr/ports/CHANGES), please report them on the ports@ list and to the appropriate maintainers as soon as possible.

I'm glad to hear about this and I wouldn't mind hearing regularly about major events over in the ports tree. I've started doing this. The full summary was sent to ports@ and ports-developers@, plus I added a copy to /usr/ports/CHANGES. This is now the second major ports update I've summarized. Once the archives get back up to speed, you should be able to see my previous summary.

Since the ./distinfo file began listing the SIZE= line, my portupgrade scripts (and fetch) have broken when I upgrade. I'm running 4.7PRE and 4.8PRE. (I'm trying to floppy install 5.2-RELEASE, as well.) Do I need to get a new version of fetch? Hand-deleting the SIZE line in the ./distinfo file is a temp workaround; is there a better way? ...I must have missed *something* gary -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public service Unix ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
