keeping Freebsd update

[skoinga]

Hi all,
my system is FreeBSD-RELEASE-8.0
at present, the current version should be 8.0-p3, right?
So, if I upgrade to 8.0-RELEASE-p3, it's recommended to rebuild all ports?
If not, when it's necessary to do make buildworld?
Thankyou

It's only necessary to rebuild all ports if you upgrade major versions, like going from 7 to 8.

buildworld is part of upgrading to the later version of the operating system, it doesn't have anything to do with ports.

Usually it's not needed to rebuild any port. Do read /usr/src/UPDATING. If there are ports that would need to be rebuild it'll be mentioned there.
