yes and i don't even see xorg there: http://www.pkgsrc-box.org/packages/stable/DragonFly-1.8/meta-pkgs/ modular-xorg-fonts are there but xorg is not :-( Have a look in ../x11. It looks like you will have to use modular xorg whether you like it or not now.

However, others have already gone through this and listed the needed packages: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-users/2007/04/28/0005.html There's other examples, but this should work. I assume there will be a single meta-package again once modular xorg is 'settled' in pkgsrc.

rebuild DragonFly using gcc 4.1
i wanted to have GCC 4.x based DragonFly system (for a C++ project) and Trevor Kendall advised this: If you are using 1.8.x: In /etc/make.conf uncomment WANT_GCC41=yes and rebuild. If you are using HEAD, it is built automatically already. To use it set CCVER to gcc41. -- but Matt said please do NOT use HEAD. so i used LATEST preview release which was GCC 3.4 based. In /etc/mk.conf i added a line WANT_GCC41=yes but i do not know how to rebuild ? i tried Google and got this: # make buildworld # make buildkernel when i try this i get this message: do not know how to build world. funny message, i thought. so i have these questions: 1.) Is it a good idea to use DragonFly preview release as my general-purpose OS. actually, i want learn UNIX and i want GCC 4.x to work on a C++ project. i just use a Window Manager, xine-ui, firefox, emacs, bash, gimp, audacious or xmms and nothing else. i don't use Desktops. 2.) how to rebuild the preview release for gcc4.x and how long this process will be ? 3.) is it necessary to do this before rebuilding world: cvs -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot co pkgsrc even after 4 hours, it is still downloading packages :-(. is it downloading the source code of every package ? 4.) DragonFlyBSd guide also advises to use cvs up after step 3. what is it and how much time will that take ? 5.) can you please provide a list of commands for rebuilding with GCC 4.1 as i re-partitioned my disk and reinstalled Arch GNU OS (a.k.a Linux) just to send this email. this i the only machine i have, my home PC. thanks in advance :-) -- http://arnuld.blogspot.com/

Equip the 'production' one with email, browser, man pages - all the 'tools' you need. And *keep* that one installed. i.e. - be able to boot to no fewer than TWO DFLY. Throw in FreeBSD, Minix or a Linux if you have the space, time, and inclination. Use a second drive or a USB stick if need be. Now you have a DragonFly baseline that is 'known stable', gets you man pages, packages, tarballs, browsing, etc - all with minimal hassle vs HEAD. From it, you can also manually mount the slice and partitions of the 'RD' version 'next door'. That lets you transfer files, inspect, alter, fix things of the sibling. Or clean it out and start with another. . which may be just another copy of the release version equipped with the Gcc 4.x compiler suite. PREVIEW or HEAD are probably not needed for your project at all *unless* their newest features - not just Gcc 4.x - are specifically part of the project itself.
