Hi, The XFree86 port is marked as broken... bummer.It seemed to build fine for me (recent stable), so I'm wondering just how broken it really is (and if it should be marked as broken - perhaps a warning instead?). I had a hard drive go bad on me, so I went through the install process for the first time in a long time. The fact that the port was marked as broken discouraged me at first and I began to wonder why this is not available in package form - installing it as part of the base install is not the same as the port as many dependent packages are concerned. Having it in package form would be a good solution when installing from ports is undesireable or impossible for any reason (and it's easier to manage than the base install). Or am I missing something really huge? Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
