Mesa 2.4 has broken assembler routines (missed some files, broken detection in configure script etc.); 2. Mesa 2.4 is incompatible with utah-glx, therefore upgrade would make this port broken; 3. XFree86 4.0.2 uses only glut and GLU libraries from Mesa, they are contributes software for Mesa and do not change very much from release to release, so update would buy very little for XFree86 4.0.2 users. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
