Don't know for the upgrade, I preferred deinstalling and reinstalling manually all of my 400 (well I reinstalled only 20 of them, 380 are RUN or LIB dependencis) ports because of : - libjpeg upgrade - some 8-CURRENT libraries version bump (I could make delete-old-libs after deleting ports) - libtool and libltdl upgrade - KDE 4.3.0 just released from area51 That was enough for me to prefer the less risky way... works great so far := ) > > =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0Scott = Bennett, Comm.
