There. Hopefully the upgrade should be a breeze. As usual, report problems on freebsd-x11@.
Enjoy!

I dropped an email to postmaster@ yesterday to get the freebsd-mono@ mailing list created and David Wolfskill created it today. Time to subscribe now!
I think I’ve fixed everything there was to fix to merge X.org 7.4 in the tree. Except open-motif, which means 300+ ports are in duds right now. Open-motif is quite old in the ports tree (2.2.x) and requires Xprint, which I have removed. The update to 2.3.x is ready but I still need to bump PORTREVISION on ports that depend on it and fix what breaks.
In the meantime, I’ve started the mono experimental run. I don’t expect much fallout so it’s highly likely to hit the tree before X.org.
Banshee 1.4.2 was released yesterday. It comes with a handful of fixes. I don’t get the startup-at-freeze bug anymore, which is cool since it’s basically the only one I’ve encountered so far.
A few people have been working behind the scenes on FreeBSD/Mono for some time now. Wesley Shields (wxs@) sent a patch an hour ago which I’ll run through pointyhat once my X.org exp-run #3 finishes.
Hopefully mono 2.0.1 (I’ve been told 2.2 is in the works) should enter ports soon enough (along with a few ports updates). Stay tuned!
Well it took some time, but I’m finally running my first exp-run and it happens to be for xorg 7.4.
If everything goes according to plan, it should be ready some time this weekend, or early next week. I’m sorry it took so long it’s happening finally. We’ll probably be committing updates as the individual tarballs are released in the future, rather than waiting for katamari releases. Stay tuned.
