Ok,
I have a few of 6.2 servers (including two running in jails) that
do not have full X installed, but they do have a number packages
that depended on the various X libraries, fonts, and clients; and
so these components of X are installed.
I have read through UPDATING and the mailing list, and it appears
that the process as described that allows the use of portupgrade
requires a full install of X.
My question is, can I still use portupgrade, with the manual
upgrade of the libXft port, or should I manually deinstall and
reinstall all the Xorg related ports, and the ports that depend on
them. If I go the manual reinstall route are their any make.conf
values that need to be set to indicate I want the new file
structure used, or have all the ports that used the "/usr/X11R6"
directory been updated?
Even if you would need to install entire x11/xorg metaport, you can
do that at the end of upgrade. If after upgrade you don't find
anything missing then it shouldn't be necessary, but it's rather
difficult to say in general. Not having the metaport installed will
mostly affect users of xorg-server because of missing fonts and
drivers that have been split up; users that have parts of X11 only as
dependencies for some graphics tools less so.
