Re: XFree 3.3.4 not on ftp.freebsd.org?

 * However, my archives show I pointed-out the problem (with possible

 * I'd forseen the future, but it's one of those things you look at and
 * figure "ah, it's so Freaking obvious that someone will fix it".
 * 
 * The change was made long before the release and there was plenty of
 * time to fix any breakage.  It was just never fixed.

Ok, but also note that there aren't any dependencies left in packages
anymore.  I intend to ressurect those when the XFree86 port is broken
up into more manageable chunks, but until then, the packages will ship
with no XFree86 dependencies.
