You don't need to rebuild, although there are known problems with having |
16 |
both 4.7 and 4.8 installed, and having 4.7 be the active one (or any |
17 |
case where an older version is the active one.) |

You should be able to just switch to 4.8 without rebuilding anything. |

That's what I did. Of course it can't hurt to rebuild everything, but |
21 |
you can schedule that for later (like an overnight rebuild of @world |
22 |
with --keep-going). It's not critical to do it immediately. |
