Will, while I understand and support your desire to split the big XFree86 thing into pieces, but why you are refusing to put 4.2.0 back in the meantime and let people be happy until conversion is complete? I can't think of any good reason for such behaviour. Please put 4.2.0 in right now and convert it to be meta-package when your team is ready for that. It is simple and let you concentrate on getting the work done instead of answering angry threads like this. Thanks! -Maxim P.S. And neither I believe that freebsd-xfree86@lists.csociety.org has the right to hold a lock if somebody else wants to backout 4.2.0-->4.1.0 downgrade. --=-nGxWsrrPtoMjbbuqQ31H Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQA8bkrfoNu5t4iCBa8RAgUYAJsHIxGNdwPVArz17pGYws8c7v3/ggCfR/mP wPnZuLdHzdp0TZDPnAKIn64= =HwR9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-nGxWsrrPtoMjbbuqQ31H-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
