Hello,
Erm, so I tried upgrading XFree ports and the results of this can be seen at
http://www.ijs.si/software/freebsd-local/cvsweb.cgi
So far, these are ports that XFree86-4 metaport depends on. This has been
tested on i386, alpha and sparc64, and pkg-plist files have been verified on
these archs. Unfortunately I haven't got AMD64 or ia64 to play with so I can
not check pkg-plists there, which mostly affects the Server port. As I took
XFree86-4-Server-snap as starting point for the Server port and it is marked
as BROKEN on AMD64, I don't even know if it compiles there, but I suspect
something should be added in scripts/configure, similar to other
architectures.
If somebody is already working on upgrading these ports, I do apologise for
intruding. If however this makes some sense as a starting point, I would be
happy if someone can help me get this finished and submitted in a way that
would be easiest to commit.
In any case, I am now running XFree86 4.4 port on my desktop on current and if
nothing else, the default colors for xterm are changed, so the default for
directories in ls is much more visible :)
Hope that this helps in some way.
Dejan
