Greetings all and my apologies for cross posting!
There seems to be a confusion regarding the ABI change in FreeBSD 9
and if this affects the usual upgrade path which includes a full port
rebuild.
The relevant post is here: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=28831
Frankly, I am also confused because I remember a relevant discussion a
few months ago in the lists. Traditionally a major RELEASE upgrade
requires a full ports rebuild, however this time there is no
COMPAT_FREEBSD8 in GENERIC and most upgraded systems seem to be
working fine. On the other hand this is stated in UPDATING:
20110828:
Bump the shared library version numbers for libraries that
do not use symbol versioning, have changed the ABI compared
to stable/8 and which shared library version was not bumped.
Done as part of 9.0-RELEASE cycle.
Your input would be appreciated!
Hmm, anyone :) ?
If your question is, "Do I need to rebuild my ports when doing a major
OS version upgrade?" the answer is always "Yes."
The method described at the end of the portmaster man page is preferred,
whether you actually use portmaster to do the upgrade or not. (I.e.,
good backups, delete everything, start over from scratch.)
I think that another part of the question was "why there is no COMPAT_FREEBSD8
kernel option in 9?" and I think that Volodymyr has tried to answer this part
with another question.

Hi guys,
I am aware of the proper procedure which requires a full rebuild after
a major upgrade.
Doug, the question had to to with COMPAT_FREEBSD8 missing from GENERIC.
It seems this and the fact that some upgrades from 8.2-STABLE worked
fine without a recompile, has created the confusion.
Did he do make delete-old-libs, if you leave them, then no recompile is
needed, and the ports still have there old libs laying around.!
If you do the make delete-old-libs command, your ports do not work anymore.
regards
Johan Hendriks
