No, thats not what I said, sorry if it confused you. Whenever you upgrade your OS to a new major version you should always reinstall your ports complete, as per the migration instructions. What I said was you do not need to reinstall your ports if you first install them with a from source macports base install, but then switch to an installer base install (or upgrade base) Chris > > Thanks a lot again, > > Artemio > >
