Building INDEX is not essential in this thread, merging trees is closer to subject, but primary I want, that testing development version of ports will be simpler. Please look at: 'Firefox 4 - Beta' threat: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2011-March/066353.html some people don't known where they can find freebsd-gecko development repo. Or at 'xorg-server 1.9.3 and 1.10.0' threat: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2011-March/066421.html Martin wrote: > I'll cleanup all the mess and commit all stuff to the xorg-dev repo.
