It should be mentioned that BSD.x11(-4).dist should be used instead of BSD.local.dist if you have an X11 application that is being installed -- especially if USE_X_PREFIX is defined (or anything with GNOME or KDE as well). >How-To-Repeat: lynx http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/porting-autoplist.html >Fix: Add a line describing that BSD.x11(-4).dist should be used if you have an X11 application. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
