Xorg related port upgrade questions

Tue Jul 3 20:04:32 UTC 2007

Ok,

I have a few of 6.2 servers (including two running in jails) that do not 
have full X installed, but they do have a number packages that depended 
on the various X libraries, fonts, and clients; and so these components 
of X are installed.

I have read through UPDATING and the mailing list, and it appears that 
the process as described that allows the use of portupgrade requires a 
full install of X.

My question is, can I still use portupgrade, with the manual upgrade of 
the libXft port, or should I manually deinstall and reinstall all the 
Xorg related ports, and the ports that depend on them.  If I go the 
manual reinstall route are their any make.conf values that need to be 
set to indicate I want the new file structure used, or have all the 
ports that used the "/usr/X11R6" directory been updated?

I would also appreciate hearing about any other gotcha's that anyone in 
a similar situation has run into.

Below is a list of installed packages on one of the servers I am working 
with.

Thanks,
Jeff
