Nevertheless, I do not agree that having this information in /usr/ports/UPDATING was enough. I my opinion, the Makefile should have contained a check to see if x11/xorgproto is installed. Otherwise, for anyone who attempts to install or update xorg-server there is absolutely no indication about the reason of the failure that could suggest= to the user that he should read /usr/ports/UPDATING. I use FreeBSD since basically forever (1996) and I believe that I am a typi= cal user. I almost always read /usr/src/UPDATING before updating the kernel or = the base system. I may read /usr/ports/UPDATING before beginning a new complete installation of FreeBSD, but I almost never read /usr/ports/UPDATING when I= am just updating a single random port, which is not a port known to have frequ= ent updating problems, e.g. perl. I am pretty certain that the percentage of the FreeBSD users who stop and r= ead /usr/ports/UPDATING before each random port update is negligible, because reading that file would take normally much more time than just updating the port. Therefore I believe that "make install" should have checked explicitly for = this new port dependency to avoid such surprises for the users. (The reason for = this failure was that the dependencies were checked by checking the presence of files which were also provided by the obsolete ports, not only by the new p= ort that replaced them.) --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
