Subject:   po4a build failures (RE a thread) and an idea ; also new XORG question
Message-ID:  <1397697556.16374.YahooMailBasic@web140901.mail.bf1.yahoo.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Third attempt to send to the list ( a forwarding of a saved SENT message.)
However another question
In the make.conf there is WITH_NEW_XORG
but I've not the vt(9) driver.

UPDATING is not clear (today 4 16) enough as to wheter WITH_NEW_XORG=20
should remain, or be replaced with WITHOUT before updating DRI since I've n=
ot
a 9-STABLE rebuilt since its introduction probably.

Questions below remain.
Apologizing for top posting, but the bottom posting does not appear at the =
list yet.
Glitch somewhere.

Don't know if the email arriving is more important than the questions in th=
e=20
email or not...

>=A0=A0=A0Well, you basically said you're more important than
>=A0 anybody
>=A0=A0=A0that
>=A0=A0=A0regularly reads this list, so good luck with that tact.

>=A0=A0=A0
>=A0 =A0 Staging is not an opt-in feature so as

>=A0=A0=A0say
>=A0=A0=A0
>=A0=A0=A0This indicates that you haven't been paying attention.=20

>=A0=A0=A0It's not a goal to have the most

>=A0=A0=A0
>=A0 ...............................................Maybe take
>=A0 changes to a=20
>=A0 subsection of the forum? I've posted there...
>=A0=20
>=A0 A new subsection group: ports

>=A0 WWW...
>=A0 DEVEL...
>=A0 maybe one DELETIONS ( a sticky or subsection)
>=A0 and/or PENDING DELETIONS ... and/or
>=A0 and deleted ports could be bought back again for those
>=A0 who find them useful, even if someone was reading about
>=A0 a years-ago removal.
>=A0=20
>=A0 Pardiff (diffp ) comes to mind (just removed this week)
>=A0 I use the diffp binary for diffing ports-to-upgrade pipe
>=A0 results between days (diffp portlist.MON portlist.TUE)
>=A0 I suppose mergemaster.sh could even be updated to
>=A0 be more similar to the output of diffp.
>=A0 .....
>=A0 gfontview...=20
>=A0 ...
>=A0=20
>=A0 Just puttting that idea onto the forum expansion, which
>=A0 maybe could solve problems quicker than PR's.
>=A0 For instance, as of now,
>=A0 textproc/po4a
>=A0 x11/roxterm
>=A0 devel/dconf
>=A0=20
>=A0 all fail to build "failed to load exteral entity "http://docbook.sourc=
eforge.net/release/
>=A0 xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl"=A0 "
>=A0=20
>=A0 and maybe if the forum had been expanded, threads (dconf
>=A0 po4a roxterm) would
>=A0 have been started/updated explaining the fix, if anyone
