all,

I remember seeing a message going by in one of the mailing lists 
regarding the recent issues with the xorg update last month that 
mentioned using a date in the supfile in order to get a ports tree prior 
to the xorg update.

I know this is wrong:

kolia# cat spec-supfile
*default host=cvsup8.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
ports-all date=20090108235500

It blew the ports tree away -

so what is right?  the new xorg fails on my SiS controller

I got desperate and reloaded from 7.1 release and csup RELENG_7 but left 
the ports tree alone and installed xorg/gnome and at least have a 
working display again albeit with lots of buggies - figured I'd update 
the tree to just before the xorg release and wait a while for the issues 
to get resolved.
