X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 24 Jul 2004 05:09:00 -0000 Just cvsup'd my system for the weekend and found three additions to the /usr/ports/CHANGES file. They referenced a replacement of the XFREE86_VERSION variable by the X_WINDOW_SYSTEM variable, a big update to PHP ports and bsd.php.mk to add more flexibility plus an announcement that "OpenLDAP version 2.2 is now the default..." I'm still learning FreeBSD and deal with issues as they come up. I remember reading postings regarding the XFree86 issue but thought I had the option to leave well enough alone. Maybe not. Not sure I understand fully what the other two are all about yet. Looks like I have a long weekend ahead of me. Think I'll postpone the portupgrade until I research these changes further. Is there more detail provided somewhere on these three changes? Thanks, Bob Perry -- I've learned that whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed. FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE-p2 #0
