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

End of X.org exp-run, starting mono exp-run

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.

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.
Bla bla bla, *plaign*, bla bla bla…

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 will repeat myself: clueless and whining person == idiot.
Should you not have been an idiot, you would have admitted that your understanding of how ports and packages work was wrong and you would have just said that it was simply not a good match for your needs. There’s plenty of choice, shop around, as you’re already doing.
Apart from that, there are loads of people using patched releases (via freebsd-update(1), which you also criticized, for various utterly wrong reasons, as pointed out by Colin Percival, the maintainer of the tool) with what I’ll call stable packages (which is actually latest packages built on FreeBSD-STABLE, as opposed to current packages which are built against FreeBSD-CURRENT).
Catching up with FreeBSD ports

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 like Xorg crashing at startup, I recommend reading the x11@ archives and if you still don’t find any solution, then contact the Xorg developers and/or open a bug report at bugs.freedesktop.org.
