HEADSUP for git X.org ports users: change of X11BASE

[Dejan Lesjak]

Greetings,

So there it goes, the patch to change X11BASE to point to $LOCALBASE will go 
into git shortly. Before further updating of your ports, you will need to 
merge stuff that you now have in old X11BASE (/usr/X11R6 by default) onto 
LOCALBASE (/usr/local by default). here's a suggestion how to do that:
- make a tar backup of /usr/X11R6
- extract that backup onto /usr/local with option to not overwrite existing 
files
- remove /usr/X11R6
- create symlink /usr/X11R6 -> /usr/local for compatibility (configuration 
files, /var/db/pkg package database, ...)

The above instructions are available in form of shell script here:

Feel free to come up with better suggestions.

What is now in this git tree (with the mentioned change) is pretty much what 
will go into ports tree.
If anyone plans on testing the upgrade from xorg 6.9 to 7.2, "portupgrade -a" 
or similar should do the right thing (preferably after merging bases).

Do tell us your experiences, suggestions,...

Dejan
