+This file documents some of the problems you may encounter when
+upgrading your ports. We try our best to minimize these disruptions,
+but sometimes they are unavoidable.
+
+You should get into the habit of checking this file for changes each
+time you update your ports collection, before attempting any port
+upgrades.

+20040226:
+ AFFECTS: i386 users of ruby and portupgrade
+
+ Change the default version of ruby to 1.8 for i386.
+
+ If you are a ruby developer and want to keep ruby 1.6 as default,
+ please add RUBY_DEFAULT_VER=1.6 to /etc/make.conf. Otherwise, please
+ run the following series of commands to migrate to ruby 1.8:
+
+ 1) Reinstall portupgrade manually (and ruby 1.8 will be installed)
+ pkg_delete portupgrade-\*
+ (cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade; make install clean)
+
+ 2) Reinstall everything that depends on ruby 1.6 (to use ruby 1.8)
+ portupgrade -fr lang/ruby16
+
+ 3) Reinstall ruby 1.8 (because the previous step kills symlinks)
+ portupgrade -f lang/ruby18
+
+ 4) Deinstall ruby 1.6 stuff (if you are paranoia)
+ pkg_deinstall -ri lang/ruby16
