Over the past week we have done extensive tests of various upgrade scenarios, fixed many remaining bugs, and now the upgrade is looking good. Of course, we can't possibly test everything, so that's where you come in. What we need now is for everyone to download this tarball: http://people.freebsd.org/~kris/ports-xorg-7.2.tbz Extract it into a clean directory (i.e. not over the top of your existing ports tree), then follow the directions in UPDATING to begin the upgrade process. In particular, please pay special attention to the instructions on how to record and report information should something go wrong: without a transcript of the upgrade session we may be unable to determine what went wrong on your system, and your report may be wasted. We're asking all FreeBSD ports committers and other interested developers to participate in this process: it's now up to you guys to test the upgrade and report problems you encounter, before we unleash it on the general user base. Once we have enough success reports and have dealt with all reported failures, we will proceed with the next stage, which is to import into CVS.
