From: asami@cs.berkeley.edu (Satoshi Asami) Sender: owner-current@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk * I think you're mixing up the idea of config files and startup files, X config * files will still end up in the X tree which is something we should be a bit * more forcefull about with the X folks because it's a badly broken concept. That's not what I meant. The X ports don't know where the local tree (usually "/usr/local") is, the way the ports mechanism is designed now. I made several suggestions on how to solve this (and the startup file situation), but none was good enough. Satoshi
