Future development of xorg port

2007-05-20 Thread P.U.Kruppa 

Hi,

since now we all did/are doing our monster xorg port upgrade, I 
wonder how the future development of xorg is planned.


- Will we permanently receive small upgrades of xorg modules by
  tracking -STABLE ?
- Will there be kind of an xorg-devel port?
- Or do we wait for the next big complete upgrade to 7.3 ?


Thanks,

Uli.

If you want to know about ports subscribe to the ports list or check the 
archive for that list. The particular question you ask seems to be 
addressed in a very recent discussion subject Ports tree : Xorg-7.2 
release freeze, ETA?


Now for xorg 7.2 the major change is that it has been modularized which 
I suppose means that you won't see such monster upgrades in the future - 
for that port.

In general the plan is to do something like option 3.  xorg-devel will
probably be too much work (need to fork an additional ~300 ports) and
frequent small updates will introduce too much churn and introduce too
many dependency problems.
