(All parts of FreeBSD should be available as ports imho.) Yes, I think this is the way out. First create a port while implementing a knob in base to disable drm2 build, with deprecation notice for those who choose to. After a month or two remove drm2. That should give enough time for those on -CURRENT who choose, to make the switch. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <[email protected]> FreeBSD UNIX: <[email protected]> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-x11 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
