Hi,
according to the status report sent around today, X11BASE should be
dropped in favour for LOCALBASE.
Is there an actual schedule until when this should happen and how should
we deal with our current ports now? Just remove the USE_X_PREFIX macro
when we submit new PRs for (our) existing ports or anything besides
that?
A further explanation why that move shall happen would be great, too :-).
It can only possibly happen after a team of interested people have put
in the work to fix the several thousand ports that have hard-coded
knowledge of /usr/X11R6 (i.e. which do not respect X11BASE anyway).
So what was the announcement about then? Was the X11BASE vs. LOCALBASE
section within it just a generalization of the GNOME changes and X11BASE
will be kept? Or should we maintainers switch to LOCALBASE whenever
possible from now on?
It wasn't an "announcement", it was a description of future plans. I
don't know who is actively working on it.
But /usr/ports/UPDATING reads:
20061014:
AFFECTS: All GTK+2 and GNOME users
AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
GNOME has been updated to 2.16. All GTK+2 and GNOME components have
been moved from X11BASE (/usr/X11R6) to LOCALBASE (/usr/local). To
upgrade your GNOME desktop or/and other applications you will need
to use either sysutils/portupgrade or sysutils/portmaster. To use
portmaster, make sure you have least 1.9 version to have the
upgrade success.
