I don't know where you guys read that.
Well, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that was the
plan?
Shortly thereafter the plan is to do away with the X11BASE
stuff altogether, and have all ports install into /usr/local.
This should happen before we move X.org to LOCALBASE.
Cool, I wasn't sure about the ordering on that, but one virtue of
installing xorg 7 into LOCALBASE would be that you don't have to move
all the current X11BASE ports all at once, since most things would
just work.
For example, when I installed my new laptop I put "X11BASE=/usr/local"
in /etc/make.conf, and everything worked fine, including a bunch of
the ports that were broken when kris did his recent /usr/xorg run.
In any case, none of this is material to the OP's question. Fixing the
ports now to install into a non-standard base will make them PREFIX
clean down the road no matter where PREFIX happens to be. :)
