There are POLA violations whatever is done: If X11R6 references are removed then anyone who hasn't upgraded to xorg 7.2 will lose any X-related startup/libs/manpages/... If you upgrade to xorg 7.2 but don't cleanup the /etc files then rc.d and periodic scripts are processe twice. (I was getting warned about ports with security problems twice). Possibly mergebase.sh needs to do more fixup itself or include a bigger warning. --=20 Peter Jeremy --kH8JNVvasRCCW1Oz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFGT3v5/opHv/APuIcRApcIAJ9MOqDAM0qI02Ax/l3jBj6EZO7DFwCgt+EW OgAbEZWRTI/W6Xru6gTOETY= =nSQc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --kH8JNVvasRCCW1Oz--
