I would stick in fonts-truetype and dri, too. The goal being "the port I tell people to use when they complain about Y being in the xorg distribution or Z not coming with xorg-server," and probably also what sysinstall would use. I won't make any changes to the diff for a bit, so you can do XFree86 bits. I also need to figure out what to do about DRI. I want to move us over to Mesa snapshots. The reason is that DRI driver development happens much faster than X releases, and there's never a stable release -- something just escapes. Mesa snapshots will let us update when important changes are made and things are feeling stable, and let people build them from a much smaller source tarball than the hideous monolithic tree. The problem is that there's a libGL incompatibility, so that the new drivers won't work on an old libGL (it's a bug, but it's a bug that nobody's fixed in 3 months or so). Because of this, I'm thinking of repocopying graphics/dri to graphics/xfree86-dri, making it use xfree86 sources again, and make graphics/dri be Mesa snapshots. graphics/dri-devel would die. -- Eric Anholt eta@lclark.edu http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ anholt@FreeBSD.org
