- The XFREE86_VERSION variable is deprecated and replaced by the X_WINDOW_SYSTEM
- switch. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM may be set to any of xorg, xfree86-4, and xfree86-3.
- Ports which depended on ports from a specific X distribution have been updated
- to use the new X_*_PORT defines from bsd.port.mk. XFREE86_VERSION will
- continue to work and map to X_WINDOW_SYSTEM for a short time.
-
- X.Org has been made the default X distribution for FreeBSD 502123
- (current -CURRENT) and later. This requires that all existing XFree86 ports
- be deleted and replaced by X.Org for dependencies to work, unless you set
- X_WINDOW_SYSTEM to xfree86-4. To make the switch to x.org, do:
-
- pkg_delete -f /var/db/pkg/imake-4* /var/db/pkg/XFree86-*
- cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg && make install
- pkgdb -F
-
- Users of -STABLE or older -CURRENT can switch to X.Org as well by setting
- X_WINDOW_SYSTEM=xorg in make.conf and following the same process.
+ The XFREE86_VERSION variable is replaced by the X_WINDOW_SYSTEM variable.
+ XFREE86_VERSION may no longer be used by ports Makefiles. X_WINDOW_SYSTEM may
+ currently be set to xorg, xfree86-4, and xfree86-3 (please use :L in checking
+ it). Several X_*_PORT variables are provided by bsd.port.mk which map to the
+ appropriate port for the X_WINDOW_SYSTEM chosen.
