I've just upgraded to 10.4. At this point everything seems to be running smoothly in X11. Is there anything that I should be or could be doing in MacPorts to facilitate this upgrade? malcolm

If I'm not mistaken no one has responded, but I'm not sure what you are asking. Can you clarify your question? Mark

Does upgrading to 10.4 break anything in Macports? Could I improve performance if I reinstalled apps? Malcolm

Many ports define sections that only take effect on 10.3, or only on 10.4, and so on. Look through the output of "port installed" and see if any of them include "+darwin_7" (Mac OS X 10.3.x is based on Darwin 7.) If so, I think it would be safer to rebuild those ports at least now that you have 10.4 (a.k.a. Darwin 8). Though, you're also now using a different Xcode. Under 10.3 the latest Xcode available was 1.5, but now you have access to (and should absolutely be using) Xcode 2.4.1. It may be prudent to reinstall all ports using this new Xcode. To do so, either determine the dependency tree of your installed ports and reinstall them in the correct order, or, which may be easier, save the output of "port installed" and then move /opt out of the way and completely reinstall MacPorts and then all your ports. If you do it this way, do check also if you have any port-installed items outside of /opt. Some ports do that.

Yes. At least when doing an "archive and install". The directory /Library/Tcl/macports1.0 and it's contents are left behind. Users config is left behind, so $PATH and other environment variables must be reset. There may be more but these two are the first that I've found.
Could I improve performance if I reinstalled apps?

I've installed xcode 2.4.1 but I'm not keen on rebuilding everything at the moment: I've got work to do! That will have to wait. The OS upgrade was forced on me because I have to use FMP 9. Fortunately, 10.4 feels quicker in a lot of ways.
