Are you talking about this part of UPDATING: # sh /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/mergebase.sh which will merge /usr/X11R6 into /usr/local? You specifically mentioned "the xorg-upgrade file" yet the only mention of "xorg-upgrade" in UPDATING is talking about script(1). So I'm a bit confused about your definition of "xorg-upgrade program." My guess is the mergebase script is what you want? -- WXS
