Thus spake Fernando Sanchez (fsanchez@usfq.edu.ec) [24/06/04 18:07]:
: Does anybody knows if xorg ports are working? I just updated my ports
: tree before trying to switch from xfree to xorg, but I can't find any of
: the ports in my tree, I checked at the http://freebsd.org/ports/  for
: the xorg ports, for 5.2.1 there are no ports, for 5.2-current there are
: some ports, but no packages. Any help here?

The ports are working perfectly.  There's some odd internal dependancies
(I d/l'ed the fontserver package, and it depends on XFree86-something),
and every time I update a package that depends on something from X11, it
just assumes that it's an XFree86-something port that it's reading from, so
I need to 'pkgdb -F'.

Oddly, I also found the xorg ports to be faster.  I really, truly do not
know why.  (And in case anyone's curious, I'm using the NVidia specific
driver.  Not that it should matter.)

I just checked ftp.freebsd.org, and it's true, there aren't any binary
packages.  Odd, as I installed two of 'em last week.  But source building
(on -CURRENT) works like a charm.
