X.org 7.2-RC2 experimental build will start soon(ish)
Published November 27th, 2006 in FreeBSD, GIT, X.orgI’ve been talking to Kris yesterday since the ports are almost ready, and he asked me to send him a tarball of the tree. After some INDEX commits fixes, I sent him one. Not sure when he will start building it on pointyhat since he’s currently travelling (everybody has the right to take some days off) but he’s been sending emails about non X11BASE-clean ports on ports, so I guess he just likes being busy 
I’m almost right on time, since I said I’d have everything ready to start builds in december. I guess X.org is waiting for Mesa 6.5.2 to release a new xorg-server release (and then 7.2). I’m now working on an upgrade path. Hopefully it will be in the wiki page by tomorrow.
Edit: I just added the upgrade commands to the wiki.

Great work, thanks!
Does this tarball also contain Beryl? Or will that only be tested in a future build?
Yes since it has been in the tree for a few days now, but I’m not too worried about beryl ports anyway.
You did a really good job! Beryl is more stable on my laptop with FreeBSD than with Ubuntu!
