Well said. The Ports team and the people who did the pretest runs with
the xorg update, before it was even committed, are the ones who deserve
all the thanks. Thank you all guys :)

Oh I did both :)

First I tried "pkg_delete *", and rebuild everything. One tricky part
here is that despite the fact that _nothing_ is installed, you have to
export XORG_UPGRADE='yes' in the environment before building from
scratch. It's kind of unintuitive that you have to specify _UPGRADE_
for a clean installation, but it works fine.

Then, I updated my ports tree again, after a couple of days:

portsnap fetch update

and rebuilt everything with:

portupgrade -vu -N -ar

A new version of the freetype2 port triggered a full xorg update, this
time using portupgrade. XORG_UPGRADE='yes' is still required in the
running environment.

It's hard to guess without seeing the exact error message, but if it was
related to `x11/xorg-libraries', then you were probably bitten by the
lack of $XORG_UPGRADE in the environment. If you do repeat the build,
can you try catching any errors inside a script(1) session? That would
be nice to have :)

My concerns are these.

1 - Was this tested on freebsd 5. if no should the port have been made
to not install on 5.x, on a 5.x server I admin it has completely hosed
the ports setup I had to use pgdb -F to remove all x11 dependencies
that wont compile there is at least 5 diff x11 ports now that wont
compile or install with pkg_add.

2 - I read UPDATING but there is no mention of the
USE_NONDEFAULT_X11BASE=yes I had to set on freebsd 6.1 servers, is it
assumed everyone is using either 6.2 or 7.0? and is
USE_NONDEFAULT_X11BASE=yes the correct one to use when also using
WITHOUT_X11= yes and WITHOUT_XPM= yes?
