Hi,

When I update using portupgrade, sometimes replaced libs are sent=20
to /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg, for backward compatibility I presume.=20

My question is, how do I know if librairies in that folder are safe to dele=
te?=20
I checked today, and there are libs that are 8 months old which I assume=20
aren't used since a newer version exists in /usr/local/lib and I always kee=
p=20
my system up to date, compiling from source.

Thanks,
Nicolas.
