Re: 9.1-RC3: xorg-input-mouse, xfce4-panel
1.8.1 is in staging area (dev trunk). It will be not in packages distributed with 9.1. They were just apps which happened to be in ports tree at packages building for release time. There is only one branch of ports. hal is less and less used/supported and it was never meant to be used with AllowEmptyInput... http://wiki.freebsd.org/Xorg -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/9-1-RC3-xorg-input-mouse-xfce4-panel-tp5772549p5772781.html Sent from the freebsd-stable mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

SVN allows branching and creation of experimental versions of the tree very easily and cheaply, yet all the experimental repositories references so far are stored in some external repositories, github or elsewhere. What gives? Because then people who wish to create experimental branches of a rather large ports SVN tree would end up populating the core SVN repo, which is reproduced on mirrors (both ours and whoever else wishes to mirror the SVN repository.) So the current method in src/ is to work out hacks in local mirrors of the repository (eg via svn - git gateways) and then when it's time to start some public work - create a branch, do the hacking, merge it into HEAD when it's ready. That way it can also be worked on by non-FreeBSD contributors. Just like what people do for Linux, who don't have kernel.org accounts. I won't speak for the ports people but just keep that in mind. There's sometimes larger scale issues abound. :-) And before you say but but but but but but git! please keep in mind that there's no such thing as a central GIT repository that _everyone_ dumps their work in, like what would happen if one created an SVN branch for projects (in src, ports, doc, etc.) Everyone has their own git repository forks and they push patches to more authoritative trees over time.
