It actually works fine to run the upgrade without the meta-port and install it at the end. -- -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

This would have been easier than the method I was working to use. I managed to find xorg-6.9.0 under the directory you mention above ".../ports/i386/packages-6.2-release/..." and downloaded it. But, when I did the package add, it wouldn't go for me because the package dri was missing. Well, I probably overlooked it somehow, but I couldn't find the "dri" package on the ftp server. Thankfully, a thought dawned on me that perhaps these packages would exist in the cd's I burned of 6.2-RELEASE. I was able to find both packages on that CD (disk 1) and although there was a slight warning when I did the pkg_add for the dri package (some other package it requires was of a higher version than it was looking for), all installed ok and I'm now working through the install to xorg 7.2.

To install xorg meta port in preparation for xorg upgrade
Hi, How can one install the xorg meta port for version 6.9 before beginning the upgrade to 7.2? I have already updated my ports tree, and I don't think I do one of these numbers any longer: cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg && make install clean I then thought about downloading the 6.9 xorg package, but all I found on the freebsd ftp servers was a package for 7.2. I see in the UPDATING file for ports that if one doesn't have the meta port installed, they will missout on several sub ports for xorg 7.2.

Install it after the upgrade, it will pull a number of additional dependencies. Too late now that the ports tree is updated. Don't worry too much though, since most ports need to be rebuild, you can just delete the ports pkg_delete -x xorg and install the new.
