https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D214884 Bug ID: 214884 Summary: x11-servers/mga_hal: delete useless port Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: x11@FreeBSD.org Reporter: matthew@reztek.cz Flags: maintainer-feedback?(x11@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: x11@FreeBSD.org Created attachment 177454 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D177454&action= =3Dedit remove useless x11-servers/mga_hal MGA_HAL contains a binary blob that was once used by the MGA DDX to support some features of the Matrox G400. It was not needed on G450 or G550, and the features it was used for on G400 were re-implemented without it. Support for MGA_HAL was removed from xf86-video-mga on 2011-09-20 prior to the 1.5.0 release. Thus, this port has had absolutely no purpose since xf86-video-mga= was updated past that point. I assume this port was forgotten because it reside= s in the wrong category (x11-servers instead of x11-drivers) and the only possib= le consumer (xf86-video-mga) did not appear to have ever declared mga_hal as a dependency. Just kill it. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
