Indeed. My plan is as follows:
(1) finish off the metaport -- having dialog(1) issues right now
so I may do it another way
(2) put it out for testing
(3) bring it into the tree.
(3) will either involve:
(a) XFree86-4 staying where it is, and the new port being
called XFree86-4-meta (or something)
(b) repo-copying XFree86-4 to XFree86-4-all (or something)
and bring in the metaport as XFree86-4
My personal preference is for (b), given that it uses the same dependencies
(XFree86-4-libraries et al.) as everything else that depends on XFree86 4.x
This will also mean that we won't have to special case the X11 install
(once we use XFree86 4.x by default).. it simply becomes a pkg_add.
