Hi all,
After many months of hard work (mostly by flz@, as well as others) we
are approaching readiness of the xorg 7.2 upgrade. Because this is a
huge and disruptive change, we're going to approach it very carefully.
I tried X 7.2 about a week ago, and I can report some minor problems.
First, "pkg_delete -a" took far too long. X7.2 has so many dependencies, that
I sense that it is beginning to overload the ports structure.
My guess is that "pkg_delete -a" spends a huge amount of time just checking out
all the dependencies before it even starts.
Secondly, X7.2 as I tried it wouldn't "startx" if some other login had created a
.Xauthority file. While "rm .Xauthority" solved the problem
completely, I don't think this is user friendly.
But I might be a little out of sate, and all this has since been fixed.

Doesn't this do the same as pkg_delete -a:
rm -r /var/db/pkg /usr/local /usr/X11R6
The main difference is that pkg_delete checks the file's checksums,
and leaves files with changed checksums alone.
Yes. And indeed this is more or less what I did (I had various config
files in /usr/local/etc that I didn't want deleted). But this is most
definitely not a user friendly solution!
