Sorry for the wide distribution, but it is critical that -CURRENT users hear this. Two _MAJOR_ changes just went in to the ports tree that are bound to cause some pain to -CURRENT users. The first is the change in default threading libraries. The ports system now uses -lpthread when linking ports instead of -lc_r. Binaries that wind up with both libc_r and libpthread in them will cause problems. In that case, it is imperative that you report this to the port's maintainer ASAP. You can use pkg_info -W /path/to/binary to determine which port installed it. Second, Perl 5.8.2 is now the default version of Perl in -CURRENT since the 5.2 split. This replaces Perl 5.6.1 as the default. Note: Perl 5.00503 is still the default version of Perl in the 4.X base OS. If you experience problems with any of these changes (or with the other recent changes listed in /usr/ports/CHANGES), please report them on the ports_at_ list and to the appropriate maintainers as soon as possible.
