They are merged with your patch here: http://www.ijs.si/~lesi/xorg-681-up-4c.diff While modifying imake-4 is enough to avoid html manpages being installed, that works only for upgrading with up-to-date imake-4 port. As this tends to be forgotten, I've also explicitly modified others to not install html. While this affects package contents, I don't think that it affects users enough to warrant PORTREVISION bump, but I still don't have a proper feeling for that. > I also need to figure out what to do about DRI.

Makes sense. I'll dig up xfree-dri port I have somewhere then. Dejan
