Sure seems to me like > that ought to be doable. What about setting the default X11BASE to /usr/local/ depending on OSVERSION=3D>700000. That way only -CURRENT users will have to rebuild everything (which they are used to). Newly installed system with the yet-to-come 7.0-RELEASE will simply use '/usr/local' as global X11BASE and we could add a compatibility symlink to the mtree files for 7.0 too. 3 years down the road only few "desktop" users will still be running 5.x or 6.x What am I missing?
