ade@FreeBSD.org: > Synopsis: New port: x11/xterm > Has the functionality in this port been rolled into either > XFree86 3.3.6 or one of the pre-4.0 snapshots? Not into 3.3.6. Newer versions of xterm have been integrated into the snapshots leading up to 4.0, and 4.0 itself ships with #130. xterm is maintained by Thomas Dickey outside of XFree86. This port remains useful because it gives you access to current versions of xterm inbetween XFree86 releases. Note that this is already helpful for XFree86 4.0, since xterm #130 as included there has broken color handling, which is fixed in #131. The latest version of the port is available from: http://home.pages.de/~naddy/unix/freebsd/xterm.shar > This port worries me in that it overwrites a couple of > standard X11 binaries (xterm and resize), No, it doesn't. The port installs under ${LOCALBASE}, not ${X11BASE}. > (remember to deal with the app-defaults too), They end up under ${LOCALBASE}/lib/X11/app-defaults, which probably isn't terribly useful, but doesn't do any harm. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
