To handle the recent X upgrade, I finally got around to a project I've wanted to do for a while, building a 'dougs-workstation' metaport to handle installing the things I always like to have. Made it real easy to update the 4 different versions of "workstation" that I have. This approach isn't hard to do, you can start with the x11/XFree86-4 port as a model. I twiddled the ordering of the depends a little, because I wanted a couple things that are "soft dependencies" (like gdk-pixbuf) installed early; and I wanted to be able to start X while the bits and bobs got loaded. The Makefile is at http://people.freebsd.org/~dougb/dougs-workstation_Makefile if anyone is interested. I'm halfway thinking of committing this after the freeze, but I wouldn't want to deal with the resulting argument from hell over what should and should not be there. -- This .signature sanitized for your protection To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
