I really have no idea how you're arriving at that conclusion. It doesn't sa= y=20 "ports which use X11".=20 > If I (and others) understand this wrong, the description is ambiguous. No, because what applies to the X11R6 directory of course still applies to = the=20 X11R6/bin subdirectory - it's packages/ports _of_ X11R6, as opposed to the= =20 version that we (used to) ship on the installation CD (in a distribution=20 set). I mean, really, if anybody would stop for a minute and think about this - w= hat=20 sense does putting everything that somehow links to or displays stuff via X= 11=20 into a common prefix make??? X11R6 historically lives in X11R6 so it's easy to keep *separated* from=20 everything else and its own huge hierarchy doesn't mess up whatever UNIX=20 variant's filesystem layout the user installs it on. If we keep cluttering = up=20 its hierarchy with stuff that isn't part of X11R6, there's no reason left t= o=20 keep that hierarchy at all - we could just as well put X11R6 into /usr/loca= l. =2D-=20 ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org --nextPart3203953.bT9t1qKrrj Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCvbPHXhc68WspdLARAgQdAJ47bstJnc8kuXufcQcoEUN8QD4VzwCfTR5+ qe6MvledXVEjzDn0X5mPC2s= =eCX3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart3203953.bT9t1qKrrj--
