Now with freebsd-base-graphics source tree, would I use the regular ports tree, or would I need freebsd-ports-graphics tree instead?
With pkgbase on the way, one thought that enters my mind is if drm-next will be installable as a package, and can the resulting FreeBSD installation be booted either with or without drm-next?
Or is that too much to think about at this time?
