I think it would be better if you did a binary upgrade. That way you don't have to worry about build tools from CURRENT doing something funny to your 'make world'. In either case you will want to remove libraries from CURRENT not present in STABLE and any that may have had a version bump for CURRENT, ie. libfoo.so.1 in STABLE was libfoo.so.2 in CURRENT. Any ports that you compiled with c++ in CURRENT will have to be recompiled after you downgrade. Those are the types of issues I think you will run into. Doing the binary upgrade should preserve your /etc so your password database should be OK. It would of course be prudent to back up /etc anyway. Good luck. -- Glenn Johnson gljohns@bellsouth.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
