Subject: Problems making x11 ports: missing /etc/mtree/BSD.x11.dist

I keep running into the same problem making many of the x11 'stable'
ports. It can't find the BSD.x11.dist file. It's not on my 2.2.2 CD
either.  This is after I tried using cvsup for ports-all. (my prior
message).

Here's a typical complaint when making something from /usr/ports/x11:

===>  Installing for xview-config-3.2.1

mtree: /etc/mtree/BSD.x11.dist: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1

What is currently there is:
/etc/mtree
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel   798 May 20 03:36 BSD.root.dist
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  9103 May 20 03:36 BSD.usr.dist
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  1732 May 20 03:36 BSD.var.dist
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  3291 May 20 03:36 BSD.local.dist
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel   643 May 20 03:36 BSD.include.dist

which seems a bit out of date AND the x11 file is missing.

What's the 'best' way to get the up-to-date files and keep them current?

Also, after my first 2-day marathon 'make world' following the 2.2.2 CD
and then multiple cvsup's for stable, do I do a 'make world' after each
cvsup? Will it run much faster now, i.e. only do makes for the
downloaded updates or is there a better way to rebuild my system after
weekly cvsup's?

I guess I'm starting to get a FreeBSD addition. ;-)

Thanks,
Marty
