Why do you think > Hmm.. there should be no need to have special cases for ports that properly respect X11BASE. Ports that don't respect X11BASE (those that have /usr/X11R6 hard coded) should be cleaned/fixed anyways. > using /usr/X11 would make things cleaner? > I haven't checked lately but XFree86 and XOrg are currently in conflict aren't they? One has to deinstall and rebuild all the packages built with XOrg and start a fresh build to use XFree86. Having XFree86 on it's own prefix would avoid the problem of having packages built with the wrong version of X and it also make an eventual clean up easier. I think the user perceived default wouldn't change, with most people using XOrg in LOCALBASE, and some people using XFree86 in X11BASE. Of course if eventually X11BASE disappears is another matter, but at least for backwards compatibility (4.x?) it's good to have it for a while. just my 0.02$ Pedro.
