Hi Sorry for my english ;-) I've FreeBSD: FreeBSD anderson.int.it 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #0: Fri Jan 12 11:05:30 UTC 2007 root@dessler.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/ src/sys/SMP i386 and I'm upgrading Xorg by reading the document in "/usr/ports/ UPDATING" at "20070519". At the end of the procedure, after the command: # sh /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/mergebase.sh I receive this message: anderson# sh /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/mergebase.sh This script will attempt to backup /usr/X11R6 into /usr/tmp/mergebase/oldx11base.20071108.114925.tar and then move the contents onto /usr/local. It will then replace /usr/X11R6 with a symbolic link, pointing to /usr/local. After that, the script will attempt to change some settings in /etc that by default point to both /usr/X11R6 and /usr/local to remove references to /usr/X11R6; specifically, the files that could get altered are /etc/periodic.conf /etc/manpath.config /etc/rc.conf. Be advised that this script expects default environment, notably it assumes that you have not changed $X11BASE and $LOCALBASE variables from their default values and that /usr/X11R6 is regular directory and not separate mount. If these assumptions are not correct, either edit this script to change $X11BASE $LOCALBASE and/or $BACKUPDIR values or do the merge by hand (perhaps using this script as a rough guide). Enter 'yes' to continue, anything else will exit script: yes CONFLICTING FILES: ./man/whatis Files that exist both in /usr/local and /usr/X11R6 have been found as shown above. Merging will not continue. While some such files are safe to remove as they will be regenerated (like /usr/X11R6/man/whatis), some you might want to move away somewhere safe, and some might point to conflicts in ports. For this script to continue, you need to either move these files away from /usr/X11R6 or delete them. If you don't know what to do about a particular file, ask on x11@FreeBSD.org mailing list. The list is saved in /tmp/mergebase.qo7TBWmH. anderson# What does it mean? What I've to do now?
