As a result, I've been doing some testing involving clean installs from the 7.0-RC* releases, and noticed a small glitch in the initial package installation from sysinstall. This shows up on the i386 RC2 disc 1, but probably also shows up on other platforms. When doing a clean install from disc 1, sysinstall gives you the option to install the X Windows packages from disc 1 during a new installation. The RC2 sysinstall misses six packages, which are included on disc 1, which RC1 did install: imake-1.0.2_4,1 makedepend-1.0.1,1 gccmakedep-1.0.2 xorg-cf-files-1.0.2_2 xorg-nestserver-1.4,1 xorg-vfbserver-1.4,1 Between RC1 and RC2, sysinstall was cleaned up to install X by using the single top level xorg meta-package rather than the old method of specifying a number of different meta-packages. Unfortunately, the xorg-7.3_1 package in 7.0-release does not pull in the above six packages. They were installed in RC1, and have in the past been included in a full X install. A fix for the next release would probably involve adding devel/imake to the xorg port, and perhaps defaulting to building with XORG_COMPLETE to pull in xorg-nestserver and xorg-vfbserver. For the 7.0 release, since the release packages are already set, perhaps a temporary hack in sysinstall to add imake, xorg-nestserver, and xorg-vfbserver would suffice. A second very minor issue: it would be nice if the mod times for the packages on the RC2 (and 7.0 release) disks would match those on the web 7.0-release package directory on the web site. They matched in RC1, and it makes it very clear to someone installing from the release disks which packages are included. (I wasn't sure whether installation release issues like this merited a full-fledged PR). -- Wayne Chapeskie
