This isn't as easy as it sounds because there are interactions between so many different pieces. Back when X.org/XFree86 was a small number of ports (basically server, libraries and base clients), it wouldn't have been too hard. X.org now comprises something like 250 pieces with not-very-well documented interactions. It might help if X.org could be cleanly split into client ports and server ports but even that's not possible because they both depend on a number of X-related libraries. -- Peter Jeremy [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.13 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAksQPE8ACgkQ/opHv/APuIe3NgCgnOCEifmcIhbwpuPv9kqHQKdr +jEAn0DLdq7toRm6KH6iwK3QlHWwIn56 =tSi9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
