Unless the shareable version number is bumped, there is no need to re-build dependent ports. Most updates to shareables do not change the API or ABI, so dependent packages simply pull in the updated shareable when they load. You should only have to do the mass update once, whether for 1.5.10 or 1.5.11. I would suggest using the '-w' option if you use portmaster as the old shareable was libpng and the new is libpng15. If you keep a copy of the old one around, many things that have not been re-linked will still run OK. Note that when you start re-building stuff, you will certainly hit cases when you link to a library linked to one libpng and either the port being installed or another dependency is linked to libpng15. I'm unsure exactly what impact that might have. It really should have none, but I am not really sure. When you are finished re-building (or think that you are), I strongly recommend running "pkg_libchk -o | grep png" to make sure that nothing has been missed. pkg_libchk is part of the sysutils/bsdadminscripts port. -- R.
