I guess I should not have been as terse as I was. Of course I have the necessary positive cluon flux density to perform the previous 6 steps. (Ok, you may have been misled by my signature...) However, if you have XF86 3.3.3.1 installed and a crapload of your ports depend on it (like, oh, say, your Window Manager), then a cavalier "pkg_delete" will cause your Romulan pain stick to vibrate madly in your back. So, I'll ask it again: Is there a relatively painless way to u/g to XF86 3.3.4 w/o having to blat and recompile all my other ports and having to re-frob all of my (precious) configuration? Or do I just compile everything up and hope for the best (like I've done in the past?) (ObSideNote: I've been running -current for ~3 years, so my cluon flux density is somewhat higher than a newbie's. I just haven't found a decent way around this problem.) -scooter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
