Oh, I think I completely misunderstood your question. You meant when updating FreeBSD to new minors. No, it's not strictly necessary, though you absolutely should rebuild anything that installs a KLD. Compiler improvements usually happen in minor releases, so you certainly won't get that benefit until you rebuild them all. For majors, you absolutely must rebuild everything. > > Also, is there a way to use freebsd-update to see what the current patch > > level is of a release? > > freebsd-version > > # Adam > > > -- > Adam Weinberger > [email protected] > https://www.adamw.org -- Adam Weinberger [email protected] https://www.adamw.org _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
