BTW, is it correct in part that sources distributed in unmodified way or not? I remember I saw standard XFree gzipped tarballs into 2.0.5 CD. > In particular, if you build from the one in ports, you won't get many > of the programs on the contrib tape (most notably xload and xeyes). It means that contrib tape must be fetched and included to XFree86 ports too. Jean-Marc, what do you say? >I'm not sure what I should do on this, can you (Andrey) check with >Rich and Jean-Marc and make sure we are all in sync? Or you guys >(Rich and Jean-Marc) can just reply to this mail. I think the real way to be in sync is maintain XFree86 port properly and maybe add all missing parts to XFree86 port. Rich, do you got my locale.alias patch or I need to resend? -- Andrey A.
