AFFECTS

All RELENG_6 and HEAD users of ports/packages, maintainers of ports that interact with the compat libraries.

The shared library version number of all shared libraries built as part of the baseline system has been incremented in both RELENG_6 and HEAD. The overall goal is to make handling of the compat library infrastructure easier. Each new release branch will have different version numbers for all of the shared libraries and the compat ports can simply include all of the shared libraries from the previous release.
ベースラインシステムの一部として構築されたすべてのシェアードライブラリのシェアードライブラリバージョン番号はRELENG_6とHEADの両方で増加しました。最終的な目標はcompatライブラリ基盤をより扱いやすくする事です。それぞれの新しいリリースブランチはシェアードライブラリのすべてが違うバージョン番号を持ち、compat portsは以前のリリースのすべてのシェアードライブラリを容易に含める事が出来る。
If you update your system using normal cvsup/rebuild/reinstall mechanisms the old versions of the libraries will still be on your system so your old ports executables will continue to work. But you definitely should plan on recompiling and reinstalling all of your installed ports so they get relinked against the new libraries. If you don't take this step as time goes on "normal" updates and installs run the risk of having executables relying on both the new and old versions of the libraries which would cause big problems.
It will take some time for the pre-built packages available on the FTP mirror sites to be rebuilt against the new libraries. If you want to update your ports using the pre-built packages watch the mailing lists for when the rebuilt packages become available.
