Okay, then: what's the recommended way of upgrading X after an upgrade
from 2.2-STABLE to 3.x-STABLE? I've upgraded X with binaries several
times before, but I can't seem to find the new ones at the moment.
Upgrading from the ports system should be easy, but that would involve
getting and compiling *all* of the servers, which seems kind of
inefficient.
Also, what about registering the port for the new version of X? Last
time around, I just faked up a /var/db/pkg entry for XFree86-3.3.2.
Should I ignore it and leave it in place? Try to pkg_delete it? Just
FORCE_PKG_REGISTER?
Be well.
