And be careful what you delete, of course. :-) It made sense to me to move all older libs and their corresponding sylinks into the compat directory. Then use ldconfig to amke teh system aware of the new location. benefits: - libpath ist clean - old ports can still access the lib - news builds will find the right libs, configure of a port might otherwise prefer to use an old lib. once you updated all your ports, its safe to clean the old libs. kind regards Dirk - Dirk Meyer, Im Grund 4, 34317 Habichtswald, Germany To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
