One possible gotcha with blindly implementing this is that some ports install local copies of .so's in private directories that are also parts of other ports. One example I recently bumped into is that OpenOffice.org 2.2 installs a private copy of python-2.3 using the same .so names as python. > I still feel that the only safe way to do this is to find the union of=20 > 'ldconfig -r' and 'pkg_info -L' and save those files, and those files onl= y. That should be intersection, not union. I think this makes sense - there is no point in backing up private .so files because these should only be referenced by the port in question (and therefore the old .so files should be unnecessary once the old port version is deleted). --=20 Peter Jeremy --u3W6riq+uV6J42Ub Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFGT5SQ/opHv/APuIcRAsaBAJ9GB2Q/s2kQLhGYVLM6LMW9uyE14QCbBTvM d3OtAXgqnAcb5+e3iRawu5A= =KAgw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --u3W6riq+uV6J42Ub--
