The mid-term plan is thus to package base, too. The non-packaged base is one of the primary reasons I switched from debian to FreeBSD :) regards, emilia ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Xorg server update
Hello there, some time ago i saw a patch mentioned on a FreeBSD mailing list to update the X11 server. If I remember correclty it would automatically handle new device nodes in /dev/input/, this would be a real cool feature because e.g wacom tablets that use webcamd could 'just work' without X11 configs needed. Does anyone have some info what happend to the patch? regards, emilia ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Hey, I have been using portsnap to update my ports tree and had no idea that quarterly releases of the ports tree exist. Maybe portsnap could be adapted to use the quarterly release and have that enabled per default on the -RELEASE branch? (I do not see any mention of branches in the portsnap manpage, on 11.1-RELEASE) ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
