Not all of us have the bandwidth to upgrade immediately :-( It's not even a local patch, it's an rc.conf variable. :) Seriously though, I understand your perspective, but I am one of those who pushed for not branching HEAD till late in the game with the caveat that we (committers) would push hard to get it looking as much like we want to ship 7.0-RELEASE as possible, as fast as possible. IMO (and this is not meant to slight anyone, defecation occurs) we're already pretty far behind that goal, and I don't want to get any farther behind. We really need to start looking at the question "what do we want 7.0-RELEASE to look like on a clean install?" and move rapidly in that direction. Those of us who run -current on a day to day basis should be able to hold our legacy stuff together in the meantime. >> It is not anticipated at this time that we will MFC this change, since >> we'd like to avoid breaking legacy systems.

I agree that this is a better long term solution all the way around. The patch was posted to -rc on 5/21 with subject, "fwd: Re: X.org 7.2 ports merged into the FreeBSD Ports Tree." Let's move the discussion there and see if we can't get this fix in HEAD soon so that it can be MFC'ed that much sooner. Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
