Is rnoland@ the only person working on > this? AFAIK, yes... I'm intending to update to at least basic set of 7.5 ports. There are some issues that need to be resolved though. We can't update the Intel driver without losing drm support and the current driver doesn't build against Xserver 1.7.1. This is probably not a major patch-up job, but I haven't looked at it in detail yet. The other main issue is that updating libdrm will break nouveau support and I haven't decided what to do about that yet. I'm happy to have help as my TODO list is quite lengthy and so it tends to be more a question of what I feel like working on on any given day. We just need to figure out how to effectively coordinate multiple peoples efforts. I have many of the ports updated in my cvs tree, but a full review of currently shipping versions needs to be done, as well as resolve the issues mentioned above. robert. > Regards, > b. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-x11@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-x11 > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-x11-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- Robert Noland FreeBSD
