A separate message noted: JMZ> You can take my updated version at JMZ> http://people.freebsd.org/~jmz/XFree86-4.2.0.tar.gz What I did was put that under x11-servers, and I moved aside all the other XFree86-4* ports. This seems a little risky, but it worked for what I wanted. (I also made sure all parts of any other X11 were removed before I started to make XFree86-4) I believe people generally do want to get 4.2.0 back into the ports collection, but that XFree86 port needed some reorganization work. I'm just a mildly-interested bystander though, I don't actually do all that much with X. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
