But all the dependencies that build successfully and installed before the system crash would have to be rebuilt from the start. It will take some time before I get to it, with an 11.1-BETA2 installation being built up and some NetBSD installations being updated (not easy, problems are such as to dissuade me from tryimg to use pkgsrc on FreeBSD). I know that any old FreeBSD-current installation from January 2016 or August 2015 must not be touched lest all or nearly all packages be rendered nonfunctional due to shared libraries out of sync, not to mention ino64. Upgrade after FreeBSD 11.1-STABLE/BETA2 installation is built up and ready to take over. One thing that might put rebuilding FreeBSD-current to a higher priority would be an update to $SRC_BASE/sys/dev/re/if_re.c TomReceived on Sat Jun 24 2017 - 01:20:06 UTC
