Re: Upgrading x.org to 7.2 (to make other ports happy)
Please read the instructions more carefully. You are supposed to run a program called script with the parameter xorg-upgrade. script is a program which will create a file called xorg-upgrade. All the commands you subsequently type and all the output you get will be logged in the file xorg-upgrade, so that if something goes wrong you have a log of the errors to refer to, cut-and-pate from etc. I just read my reply to this from the weekend.

Just for the record, once my understanding was set right, the upgrade went flawlessly. Great instructions!

Upgrading x.org to 7.2 (to make other ports happy)
Hi, Ok, last night I sit down to continue installing software on that web server I mentioned a couple of days ago. By the way, the culprit was definitely heat. Last night, I successfully recompiled the GENERIC kernel for 6.2p5 without a hitch, and the day before I successfully completed the buildworld. Continuing on, after getting the system caught up, I updated my ports tree using csup and proceeded to portupgrade all installed ports (only about 5 at this time). However, X.org is among them. So, the portupgrade program is doing its thing I figure since it took a little over an hour to compile all of X before, I was going to do other things and so left the box to its own devices. I come back a little later to find that I've got to update X.org according /usr/ports/UPDATING. I open this file and read up on what it says. In there it says I need to run a script called xorg-upgrade however, this script does not exist on this box. I just finished a search on www.x.org for xorg-upgrade with no results. So, where am I supposed to get this script? The UPDATING file doesn't mention that.

You must set the XORG_UPGRADE environment variable to YES, and the script is made through the command line in the UPGRADE file using the script(1) utility. If you want a 100% secure X.Org upgrading, try 'portupgrade -vfarR', but this recompiles all your installed ports... use -P instead of -f if you want to install binary packages.

I was assuming that the script xorg-upgrade was something separate because other instructions in there said to be sure to use a filesystem with lots of space. I was thinking that the script program was some sort of program that would capture the output of the program so that developers could see it or something like that. Bogus assumption because I'm not at all familiar with script. Thanks for setting me straight.
