If I have XFree86-4 installed and I need to install a port that USE_MESA but it only requires libGLU then this commit has required me to install yet another port that I don't need because the bits from XFree86-4 already have what I need. > Breaking libglut away from Mesa3 is a solution, but it requires > time which we do not have. Another solution is to remove libGLU from XFree86 where it, libXpm, libfreetype, ... shouldn't be in the first place. This commit is wrong and I wish you really would have had waited more than a couple of hours so that we (portmgr) could discuss this before you committed it. As I said before I objected to this when it first came up and little or nobody responded. I turn my back for a few hours and you rush it in while I'm not looking. This is not the right solution and it should be backed out. -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
