I can't vouch for how they're built, but here's where they came from: [root@kabini1, /etc, 11:25:16pm] 324 % pkg query -g '%n: %R' 'xf86*' xf86-input-keyboard: FreeBSD_new_xorg xf86-input-mouse: FreeBSD_new_xorg xf86-video-ati: FreeBSD_new_xorg xf86-video-intel: FreeBSD_new_xorg xf86-video-mach64: FreeBSD xf86-video-nv: FreeBSD xf86-video-openchrome: FreeBSD xf86-video-r128: FreeBSD xf86-video-vesa: FreeBSD_new_xorg xf86dga: FreeBSD xf86dgaproto: FreeBSD xf86driproto: unknown-repository xf86miscproto: FreeBSD xf86vidmodeproto: FreeBSD [root@kabini1, /etc, 11:25:19pm] 325 % > > I have a plan B on this, which is to have a 'repo search order' > capability added to PKG. > IF you search the WITH_NEW_XORG repo first, THEN search the standard > repo > AND if you have two packages with the same version, etc, then you get > it from the first > repository you searched. Someone posted that very suggestion a week or so ago, generated several replies, & it was rejected (IIRC) as a bad idea for some reason ....
