Am I reading the entry for libtool in UPDATING correctly? It seems to me to basically say "There's no way to tell you how to successfully update your ports with the new libtool, hope you really understand how all the ports interact with each other, good night and good luck." Now, I *DO* sort of understand the need for this change from reading the entry, and I'm not arguing the fact that the change needed to be made. I just don't know where to go from here because now I'm afraid to update any of my ports since I'm not sure I would understand the output of the -n flag enough to figure out how to update my ports. Is there a more straightforward explanation of how to upgrade ports with the new libtool? Also, will 6.1-RELEASE have this change already in the ports tree that it ships with? I don't quite understand exactly at what point the ports tree is copied to the RELEASE. Christopher
