The ports tree that was included with 4.6-RELEASE didn't have it. It seems that the ports collection that will be included with the upcoming 4.6.1-RELEASE will be identical to that in 4.6-RELEASE. Therefore the set of packages installed by 4.6.1-RELEASE won't have xwrapper installed as part of XFree86-4, but the set of packages included with the next "normal" release (4.7?) should have it. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
