As far as I can see, the note about faad in UPDATING should be extended since the movement from internal to external mpeg4ip will cause some problems, when people use portupgrade to do this: mpeg4ip will be installed as dependency for faad and overwrites some files from the old faad-port. When portupgrade deinstall faad for updating it will erase these files accordingly and they will be missing after the upgrade (quite similar to the problems with kde-update we had in the past because of some files, which had been moved from kdenetworks to base or was it the other way? don't remember). I think this scenario won't happen, because mpeg4ip will fail during compilation (it seems to be using the headers from old faad port, if it is installed), but telling portupgrade-users about this would be much cleaner, than just to note to deinstall faad if upgrading it fails. Thanks and greetings, Kay
