I actually thought of moving everything but libs and fonts to LOCALBASE. ... but if miwi manages to fix all non X11BASE-clean ports and move them to LOCALBASE within a month then we can install the complete X.org 7.2 distribution in LOCALBASE :-) > Anyway, the > good news is that there are only a few hundred X11BASE-unclean errors > (less than I'd thought), so this is something we can keep pushing on > for now. I guess the next exp-build will be with X11BASE set to LOCALBASE then. Note: We might get runtime problems if some hardcoded /usr/X11R6 remain in source files though. -- Florent Thoumie
