No, IMO the reason for miniports was to allow people install only those parts of XFree86 which they really need. It is also cleaner from the POV of packages - user can download only those precompiled packages which they really want. > IMO That approach totally defeats what was just done. You've essentially > said, make it a megaport again, but then fake OpenBSD MULTI_PACKAGES. I donno what MULTI_PACKAGES is. And I don't think that it really defeats something, because only small fraction of all users would need to install only one selected miniport. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
