xorg 7.x and non-standard X11BASE
Hi! I received a bunch of port build failure logs wrt. move to Xorg 7.x. I would like to know if there is known easy way to reproduce build failures with Xorg 7.x.

Currently we have 2 locations for files installed by ports. LOCALBASE (which defaults to /usr/local) and X11BASE (which defaults to /usr/X11R6). When xorg 7 is imported, it will be installing into /usr/local. Shortly thereafter the plan is to do away with the X11BASE stuff altogether, and have all ports install into /usr/local. In order to prepare for this change, and to fix as many ports as possible before it happens, the ports cluster has started running experimental builds with X11BASE set to something that is not /usr/X11R6 AND not /usr/local. So, you can easily reproduce this condition by doing the same thing yourself. That's the good news. The bad news is that in order to test stuff, you have to rebuild your X related ports with the new X11BASE. There are two ways to do this. Either way you choose, you have to put something like this in /etc/make.conf: X11BASE= /usr/local/xorg I chose that directory for my experiment, you can use whatever directory works for you that is NOT /usr/X11R6 or /usr/local. Then you can either do this: cd /var/db/ mv pkg pkg-X11R6 cd /usr/ mv X11R6 save-X11R6 cd /usr/ports/your/port make (or portmaster $PWD) or If you want to make the change permanent, follow the instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING related to the gnome move to /usr/local, and use portupgrade or portmaster to upgrade everything that depends on pkg-config. hth, Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that was the plan? Well, unless somebody with a hat tells me to do it, I definitely won't :-) 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. But you end up with real X11 stuff in LOCALBASE and some other stuff in X11BASE while everything is being moved. This is a bit confusing. Anyway, we've have X11 in X11BASE for quite a few years now, it can wait two months before we move it :-) 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. I did the same on all my machine, had only a couple of mtree problems, otherwise it was just fine. 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. :) True enough, once we fixed all ports to be PREFIX-clean and X11BASE-clean, X.org move will just be a matter of removing one line in bsd.xorg.mk and bumping PORTREVISIONs. -- Florent Thoumie [EMAIL PROTECTED] FreeBSD Committer signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
