X.org 7.2 merged into the FreeBSD Ports Tree (finally)
Yeah finally. First mail I sent to lesi about xorg-modular was on the 14th of February 2006. It’s a bit more than what Kris announced but hey, now it’s committed o/.
I’m not going to make a long post, cause I’ve already made quite a lot of them. Thanks to everyone involved in testing/reviewing/patching, we wouldn’t have been able to do everything without you.
Announce is here.
Cool things I’ve read:

Do you have an amazon wishlist or somesuch?
May 20th, 2007 - 15:49

Well, the font-alias port doesn’t help. I still get the “could not open default font ‘fixed’” error.
May 22nd, 2007 - 13:37
You also need the x11-fonts/font-misc-misc port.
May 22nd, 2007 - 14:19
Thanks, after I did that I realised I have to reinstall all the font-* ports

Doesn’t work…
Because, /graphics/dri cannot find MesaLib-6.5.3.tar.bz2 anywhere.
and
Because, /devel/makedepend cannot find makedepend-1.0.0.tar.bz2 anywhere.
Any suggestions? I portsnaped today.

I’ve been playing with xorg 7.2 for a long time (perharps from current january, maybe before maybe later). What happens with the people who installed from the experimental port tree ? I guess it’s only a question of refetch the port tre with cvsup and the rebuild xorg.
can anyone please confirm that ?

T. Inoue: fetching distfiles works here. You can manually download them at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3 and
http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/util/
Gusi: Yeah, remove the git tree and cvsup again.

Regarding your wishlist,
Maybe you can add a bulb, kind of bulb used for outside stairs (.)
(..)

Anouminous: Yeah that’s called a light bulb, wanker
I wanted to add a liver for you but they had none left

Thanks Florent, I’ve just upgraded Xorg, works great ! Thank you for the job !

Thanks Florent ! During this weekend I left my system recompiling (with portmanager). And almost everything went fine (kde built fine, and my ports made it too
). Thanks !

Thanks Florent ! for your great work
but there are several issues when i`m building x.org server on the newly installed system and ask libX11 to use with libxcb there are some difficulties with it cause libxcb needs doxygen and doxygen neds qt -> xorg-libraries which are not built so there is loop libx11->libxcb->doxygen->qt->xorg-libraries->libx11
another question is when xcb-util and xcb-misc would be ported ?
thanks, alexey.
