Hello List,
A few weeks ago I installed 6.2. I did a cvsup of the ports and now
anytime I try to make
anything that uses X I get something like the following:

Read /usr/ports/UPDATING for the procedure to upgrade or install xorg 7.2.
*** Error code 1
I have been following the thread on xorg 7.2.
The /usr/src/UPDATING says under caveats
"Make sure you have the x11/xorg meta-port installed"
When I run make in the x11/xorg dir I get the following which
says use portupgrade if you want to upgrade X.Org.
/usr/ports/x11/xorg]# make
This is a meta-port, meaning that it just depends on its subparts of the
port.
It won't build and install all the parts until you have typed make install
This port does not ensure things are upgraded; use portupgrade if you
want to
upgrade X.Org. If you simply type 'make install' it may use over 2GB to
build
all of the subports. You can install the ports singly if you are low on
space.
So now which is it?
Use the meta port or portupgrade?
Thanks,
Steve
I'd read /usr/ports/UPDATING again, if you follow the exact instructions
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I have it printed out sitting right
in front of me.
in that file, you won't have many problems.
But what about this paragraph under caveats from /usr/ports/UPDATING:
"Make sure you have the x11/xorg meta-port installed. If you do not have
this meta-port installed with X.Org 6.9, you will miss out on a lot of
the new X.Org 7.2 sub-ports."
