Ok, call me the curious cat, but I just cvsupped my ports tonight looking for a patch to Xine to fix a problem with MKV playback under KDE 3.5 and got quite the shocker. There were about 101 ports that said they needed to be upgraded. The part that's the kicker is I just upgraded everything about 3 weeks ago. Did I miss something or did something big come down the pipe that caused a major number of ports to be updated? Or is this just coincidence? Just curious.
As was already pointed out, libtool has changed/updated. For future reference, /usr/ports/UPDATING and http://www.freshports.org are good places to check when you see massive updates like this. This one is, in fact, explained in UPDATING. Since libtool is a build dependency you're probably safe not upgrading everything unless you're like me and depend on portversion/pkg_version to tell you when things need updating.
Later,
Micah
