It's generally considered polite to read those docs that you know
about first before asking on a public list.

One of the guidelines for running -current is to stay abreast of the
-current list. This questions leads me to believe that you might want
to spend a little more time reading the list before you jump.

As someone else said, you're better off just rebuilding all your
ports. In -current things break sometimes, A[BP]Is change, so being
required to rebuild formerly working ports is par for the course. It's
one of the reasons that I wrote sysutils/portmaster.
