This would make it easier to maintain both XF86 and fd.o's X > server in the tree. Actually -Server doesn't depend on fonts and neither do -libraries, so there shouldn't be a problem with fd.o libraries and server or the X.org server. I agree however that it's probably better to install bitstream-vera fonts from standalone port. I'll try making a patch for this. > > Are there any other known issues left? Now that I think about fonts, -Server should probably depend on some font (eg fontDefaultBitmaps) as it won't start without at least one. Another thing is clobbering configuration files (ports/56487 and config file lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy listed in pkg-plist of Server, NestServer and VirtualFramebufferServer). This can AFAIK be solved by telling xfree build system to not clobber them or by installing them as -sample as is probably prefered. I'll see if I can come up with something. Also apparently the installation of fbdev driver is avoided for i386 and sparc, so perhaps it should be done the same for amd64, as well as dummy driver which is now avoided for i386 (although I don't see harm in installing all the drivers available for particular architecture). So these are issues that I know of. Dejan
