Latest work on FreeBSD/X.org

I’ve tried to get things done lately. I’ve installed xorg-modular on two of my laptops. Worked fine so far, but maintaining it was a real PITA, since I had the new xorg ports in a separate stripped ports tree (with the only necessary ports to compile xorg).

I finally set up a cvs to git importer, so now I have a git repository with the complete ports tree (here), but without history (we haven’t yet managed to convert the cvs repository to git). I’ve merged all of our previous work in a xorg branch.

I’m installing tinderbox on my server, which should be available soon here. If you want to try the new X.org. Refer to the FreeBSD ModularXorg wiki page. There are no instructions to update from X.org 6.9 to modular X.org, I’ll be working on the migration path. Any new information should appear both here and in the wiki page.

I also started working on Beryl ports, it’ll be easier once they release source tarballs.
