You are too close to the release of 4.2-Release for that to occur. If you were following the right list for tracking -stable, you would have known about the imminent release of 4.2. There are changes. I have two machines that I am running at 4.2-Beta. They seem to run as well as they did at 4.1.1-stable. I have a lot more trouble trying to use KDE-2. I'm not going to uninstall KDE-2 to get the features that didn't work on KDE-1 back and no hope of getting them fixed. I don't know how well 4.2-Beta will run for you; however, since you have it built, it would be worth trying. There are changes in /usr/src/UPDATING that have changed since 4.1.1-Release. You will have to deal with them. That wouldn't have changed if you had cvsup'ed 4-stable a week ago or so. This way you won't be surprised with the new features when 4.2-R comes out. You have ports that have to be upgraded when changes are made such as lsof.
