After a couple of weeks of testing, we've finally committed this upgrade. We also decided to make the PREFIX merge at the same time (moving X11BASE into LOCALBASE), which explains why there are thousands of ports affected by this commit. X.org went modular some months ago, which means that rather than releasing a few distfiles, they now have one per component (app, font, xserver, ...). What does it mean exactly for the FreeBSD user? Well, instead of having 5 ports for X.org, you'll have 255 of them? We've tried to make the upgrade as straight-forward as possible (read UPDATING) but hey, we're mere humans, we make mistakes. If you encounter any issue: re-read UPDATING, check the wiki page [1] if it's mentioned already and if it's not, send a mail to x11@. I don't like write long mail so I'll stop here. I'd just like to thank everybody who tested things, especially those who started using the experimental git tree back in november cause things weren't that much stable at this point. I won't give a list of names to be sure I won't forget anybody, but I'll give a special mention to Kris who has been spamming my mailbox for months with all the errorlogs generated by all the experimental builds he has been running. This is a very ungrateful work but somebody has to do it. I wish your machines good luck for the next few days, cause they're gonna need it. flz for x11@. PS: Read UPDATING. PPS: If things break badly, I'm at the beach, sipping a mojito.
