It’s been a while since Mr Beranger didn’t mention what he could call the FreeBSD/X.org incident. Well, we can reset the counter [link].

The poor thing mentioned (again) being driven away from the FreeBSD Project because of two developers who shall remain nameless (one of them being myself), who dared calling him an idiot. Well, I [...]

I removed xfree86-4 ports yesterday. Hear hear people, if you’re still using USE_X_PREFIX or USE_XLIB, switch to USE_XORG, now.

Holiday season is over so I’m trying to fix as many ports as I can before portmgr cuts the final set of packages for the upcoming 7.0 and 6.3 FreeBSD releases.

I think I’ve fixed most outstanding issues with x11 ports (mga driver, xdm, ...) in the past few days. If you have a major issue [...]

... commit in FreeBSD history. Thanks to Martin for pointing it out

There you go, fresh X.org ports in your favorite ports tree, a week after it’s been released. Announce is here

At the same time, I’ve marked XFree86-4 as DEPRECATED and should be gone before 2008. Hurray o/

Ok, I’ve finally committed the update to openbgpd, so it’s now at 4.0. I’ll probably pass the maintainership to farrokhi@ because I’m quite busy these days and I’ve been poorly maintaining it anyway. So you can start bothering him now :-). There’s still the openospf update pending, if you haven’t tried it, please do it [...]

I’m always happy to read feedback about my (limited, I admit) work on FreeBSD. This X.org work has been running for quite some time and is my most significant contribution to ports.

I don’t like being rude to people and I think most of the people I’ve been working with on FreeBSD can confirm I’m a [...]

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 [...]

So we’ve been working on the last details before the merge.

Dejan worked on a safer/simpler upgrade path, which results you can find if you browse x11@ archives. Kris pointed out a few issues which should be resolved within a few days.

We’ve had a couple volunteers to review the xorg big diff this week-end (pav, marcus, [...]

I haven’t blogged about this in a few weeks so I figured that could be a good time to give everybody an update.

It has been decided that the X11BASE to LOCALBASE migration would happen when we merge the new X.org in the ports tree. The necessary infrastructure changes have been done but some ports are [...]
