Since the new release wasn't committed before the freeze I recommend you to
update your ports manually if you combine the use of ccache and distcc.

The new release changes the handling of this combination to allow ccache to
detect compiler changes and not to mistake distcc changes for compiler changes.

Also the new version introduces a script called pkg_libchk. The command
'pkg_libchk -q' will list all packages that need to be rebuild because they
link to libraries in /usr/local/lib/compat or link to a missing library. This
is useful after a major upgrade to avoid a 'portupgrade -fa'.

It also helps you to find the packages that need to be rebuild after a
portupgrade to delete the contents in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg. After all
having outdated libraries lying around on your system can turn out to be a
security risk.

The patch can be obtained in the following way:
# cd /usr/ports
# fetch -o bsda 'http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?prp=117533-1-diff'
# patch < bsda
# rm bsda

Afterwards you can upgrade sysutils/bsdadminscripts.
