There have been some significant fixes to ZFS in the last several months. 8-STABLE is probably the best branch to follow for ZFS right now. On Mon, Oct 25, 2010 at 19:18, Michael D.

What KDE did you start with? Did you do: 20100902: AFFECTS: users of KDE4 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org KDE SC ports has been updated to 4.5.1. A number of files were moved between packages, manual intervention into update procedure is required: # pkg_delete -f kdehier4\* kdelibs-4\* kdebase-4\* kdebase-runtime-4\* kdebase-workspace-4\* # rm -rf /usr/local/kde4/share/PolicyKit/policy # cd /usr/ports/misc/kdehier4 && make install clean # portmaster -a (portupgrade -a can be used here too, if you want to stick with that) Upgrading big stuff like KDE is going to require some manual intervention because obsolete dependencies need removed, old libraries might interfere with the build of new ones, etc. Best practice is to look at /usr/ports/UPDATING for any special instructions when updating ports. ports-mgmt/portupdate-scan can help with this. In reality, myself and most people tend to wait for something to go wrong before checking (you can tell by the regular threads where people report a problem it already addresses.) --=20 Rob Farmer
