Hi,

Metaport as it is installs all the bits from X.Org distribution (OK, it 
doesn't depend on xorg-dmx). This is probably not what most people 
need/expect so instead of making a new port x11-base or some such, how about 
slimming the dependencies of existing one a bit. Font server, nested server, 
virtual framebuffer server and print server are first to come to mind. Mostly 
developer related documentation that comes with xorg-documents is next such 
candidate. There's also a bunch of fonts that are not necessary for casual 
user that gets pointed to x11/xorg to get GUI interface.
Thoughts, suggestions?


Dejan
