The overall goal is to make handling of the compat library + infrastructure easier. Each new release branch will have different + version numbers for all of the shared libraries and the compat ports + can simply include all of the shared libraries from the previous + release. + + If you update your system using normal cvsup/rebuild/reinstall + mechanisms the old versions of the libraries will still be on your + system so your old ports executables will continue to work. + But you definitely should plan on recompiling and reinstalling all + of your installed ports so they get relinked against the new libraries. + If you don't take this step as time goes on "normal" updates and + installs run the risk of having executables relying on both the new + and old versions of the libraries which would cause big problems. + + It will take some time for the pre-built packages available on the + FTP mirror sites to be rebuilt against the new libraries. If you + want to update your ports using the pre-built packages watch the + mailing lists for when the rebuilt packages become available. + 20050710: AFFECTS: users of x11-toolkits/qt33, x11/kdelibs3 AUTHOR: kde@FreeBSD.org |
