Yes, this could be a way to go. Actually I'm already thinking about something like that, but have not came to the final conclusion yet. > Or we could just remove GL from the > XFree86 install and make it depend on Mesa3 instead... but that > wouldn't work (and nor would the first suggestion, but it would > affect fewer people since libglut is not really that widely > used) if XFree86 has their own local hacks for MesaGL. Yes, this is not a good idea, because libGL from XFree86 is different from those from Mesa3 (dri, glx etc), so it would be a Great Pain in Ass[tm] to do and maintain properly. > Anyway, I'm really tired of having to deal with the shortcomings > of the XFree86 ports, and they've had too many for the last two > years.

Perhaps Jean-Marc can tell me. ;) Please send your findings to the developers@ (or at least portmgr@), so we could use it as well. 8-) -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
