Third attempt to send to the list ( a forwarding of a saved SENT message.) However another question In the make.conf there is WITH_NEW_XORG but I've not the vt(9) driver. UPDATING is not clear (today 4 16) enough as to wheter WITH_NEW_XORG=20 should remain, or be replaced with WITHOUT before updating DRI since I've n= ot a 9-STABLE rebuilt since its introduction probably. Questions below remain. Apologizing for top posting, but the bottom posting does not appear at the = list yet. Glitch somewhere. Don't know if the email arriving is more important than the questions in th= e=20 email or not... --- On Tue, 4/15/14, Jeffrey Bouquet <jeffreybouquet@yahoo.com> wrote: > From: Jeffrey Bouquet <jeffreybouquet@yahoo.com> > Subject: Re: FreeBSD ports which are currently scheduled for deletion > To: "ports list" <freebsd-ports@freebsd.org> > Date: Tuesday, April 15, 2014, 6:16 PM > -------------------------------------------- > On Sun, 4/13/14, Jeffrey Bouquet <jeffreybouquet@yahoo.com> > wrote: >=20 > Subject: Re: FreeBSD ports which are currently scheduled > for deletion > To: freebsd-ports@freebsd.org > Date: Sunday, April 13, 2014, 11:45 AM > =20 > =A0=20 > =A0 On 4/13/2014 17:46, Matthew Rezny > =A0 wrote: > =20 > =A0 >>> On this list I see cfv, which I've used for > =A0 years, marked just because > =A0 >>> it's > =A0 >>> not maintained.
