Or should I more or less expect that I need to rebuild *all* the ports anyway?
That's best; there are other incompatibilities that are there when you have old (compiled on 5.2) versions of a library and you try and compile new software against them on 5.3.
OK. But just to make sure I understand it right - does this mean that if I upgrade to 5.3, then those ports that depend on some incompatible library or are written in C++ do not work until they are recompiled?
I'm aware that some of the library upgrades can be overcome with /etc/libmap.conf, but apparently this doesn't get it all.
Correct on both counts.
I guess I was lucky in that all my "important" ports: postfix, amavisd-new, cyrus-imapd, mod_php, mysql40-server and apache2 survived the OS upgrade without the need to re-compile them. I *am* still planning to re-compile them anyway, I'm just glad I didn't *have* to do it all in one night.
Just wanted to record this as a data point in the list archives, in case someone else is looking at a same sort of upgrade.
