>Description:
the ports category x11-drivers was added. This change was also reflected in /usr/src/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile on -CURRENT, but not on other branches. I had a hard time to find the keyboard, mouse and video drivers because of this on my RELENG_6 box, because I could not find a hint of this new category in the example supfile, which was the obvious place for me to look when it seems that I miss a whole range of ports.
Please MFC this change now, and not in a few days, as it bears no risk to break anything and in fact unbreaks things when you are not using ports-all. Maybe others are confused by this asynchronism as well.
