I assume that it's not related to recent > license policy change in XFree86 camp, am I right? No, it's not the license change. It's that active development of libraries is going on at fd.o/X.Org, not XFree86, these days. We can only really have a single source for libraries because of packaging, so fd.o/x.org is the way to go I believe. As far as the server, we should be able to provide XFree86-4-Server and the X.Org server side-by-side just fine. (I wasn't around for the big fighting over the license, but I have to say I'm surprised FreeBSD is okay with the licensing terms on the server these days. Anyway, I'm not worried about it myself since I don't plan on touching the XFree86 server any more). -- Eric Anholt eta@lclark.edu http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ anholt@FreeBSD.org
