I'll do something a bit weird with the exp-tree in the next few
days. I'll rollback to previous versions, to match with X.org 7.2-RC2
components without bumping PORTEPOCH. I'll also reset
LOCALREVISION/PORTREVISION so that it's either 0 (if PORTVERSION changed
from the version in the original tree) or PORTREVISION+1 (where
PORTREVISION is the revision in the original ports tree). This means you
will have to run the appropriate 'portupgrade -f foo' commands by
yourself (sorry about that). You'll also need to run this command when
I'll fix bugs cause I won't bump PORTREVISION/LOCALREVISION either. I'll
probably create a file in ports/ to say which port have been updated.

The goal is to have X.org 7.2 ports ready as soon as X.org 7.2 is
released so that we can start testing everything on pointyhat. Those who
tried to track individual releases noticed that sometimes API/ABI
breaks, #define's go away, ... Since I don't have the time or the
motivation to run the necessary tests, we'll have X.org 7.2 in the
exp-tree until everything is merged into the original ports tree. Once
it's merged, maintainers will choose (or maybe not) to track individual
releases.

All that means it's going to be a bit messy, I guess the easy way will
be to portupgrade -f all xorg-ports.
