I disagree with the timming. We have yet to have a single report that -current packages available on the FTP site are even built against X4. The last time I checked Bento was building against X4, but those packages weren't making it to the FTP server. Unless someone has touched Sysinstall WRT installing X4 since I last did, the support is still incomplete. This needs more flushing out in -current before doing it for -stable. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
