Hello, After an upgrade from FreeBSD 7.0 to 7.1 (with freebsd-update in my case), is it required to recompile all ports (portupgrade -af) like specified in some docs/blog-entries, or is it not *really* necessary? What are you doing on your production systems? Having to upgrade several servers (>15), it's quite important for me to estimate the time required for the operation...
I did the upgrade on a test server here, and all ports still seems to work (apache, php, mysql, etc.) so I guess the answer is no, but I'd like to be sure before upgrading some important servers :-) According to: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.1R/announce.html "Users of earlier FreeBSD releases (FreeBSD 6.x) can also use freebsd-update to upgrade to FreeBSD 7.1, but will be prompted to rebuild all third-party applications (e.g., anything installed from the ports tree) after the second invocation of "freebsd-update install", in order to handle differences in the system libraries between FreeBSD 6.x and FreeBSD 7.x." It would be necessary only for major upgrades (6.x -> 7.x). Right? thanks & regards, Olivier _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
