>Description:
After a clean install of X.org 7.2 metaport on FreeBSD 6.2, the user is not informed to run mergebase.sh to finish transition. If the user doesn't run mergebase.sh, some programs depending on files /usr/X11R6 may fail to run properly, some local rc scripts and periodic scripts/programs may be run twice or man paths pointing to the same location may be searched twice.
>How-To-Repeat:
Perform clean install of X.org 7.2 metaport.
>Fix:
Add message to X.org 7.2 metaport to inform user to run "sh /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/mergebase.sh" if running on an affected version of FreeBSD (e.g. FreeBSD 6.x).
