This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enig3AD147018D62FA3F7970F12F Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi folks, As you may know we're in the middle of testing the new X.org 7.2-RC2 on the cluster and it's time to make some cleanup in our X11 ports. The x11/XFree86-3 has been deprecated for quite some time now and will be removed within a few days, so I can only recommend switching now, and not waiting for the port to be actually removed. While you will be upgrading, I also recommend upgrading to X.org rather than XFree86-4 cause we will deprecate the x11/XFree86-4* ports at the same time (giving a 6 months time period to make the switch to X.org). So unless you have a very good reason to stay with XFree86-4, don't do it= =2E There might still be driver issues with X.org so if you're aware of such things, please contact the X.org developers so they can fix it upstream. On behalf of the x11@ team. --=20 Florent Thoumie flz@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD Committer --------------enig3AD147018D62FA3F7970F12F Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFcv+DMxEkbVFH3PQRCi8hAKCP4id7f9Qtp67fJHeUYXPJZRRL1gCcCJm4 PTKx+SflupXiuBjunnPJLw8= =5mYY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig3AD147018D62FA3F7970F12F--
