Hi, I'm running RELENG_8_2 and I've been using packages instead of ports for most things, because they're so much quicker. But certain packages aren't compiled the way I need them to be-- postfix had no TLS or SASL support, for example, so I built it from the port. However, that is beginning to lead to some dependency issues. When attempting to build php5 in order to obtain the apache module (see: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2009-March/195199.html ) Portinstall informs that libtool-2.2.10 (from the release package) is too old, that I need to upgrade to libtool 2.4 (which is available from the port). I'm concerned that, if I have some packages built from ports and some installed from the release, that the system will become unstable if things get too out of sync. Am I incorrect? i.e. should I just go ahead and install libtool 2.4 from the port? I don't see this discussed explicitly in the handbook. Thanks in advance, Brandon
