(All parts of FreeBSD should be available as ports imho.) Yes, I think this is the way out. First create a port while implementing a knob in base to disable drm2 build, with deprecation notice for those who choose to. After a month or two remove drm2. That should give enough time for those on -CURRENT who choose, to make the switch. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@cschubert.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <cy@FreeBSD.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few.
