Every time I want to portupgrade something else, portupgrade also wants to upgrade Xorg. I don't want the latest Xorg after the horror stories I heard. That's why I'm building firefox-1.0.1 independently of the ports system, so that I don't have to go through the pain of upgrading Xorg (on which firefox depends, naturally) as well. Now, if I could be certain that Xorg has settled down, I wouldn't mind upgrading from 6.7.0 to 6.8.1 and have done with it. - --=20 G.
