xorg development questions and ideas

[Samuel Verstraete]

Zbiggy,

I checked your patches. All of them seem to indicate that you do not
have the /usr/X11R6 --> /usr link.... 
the one for xsnow is a typical problem of the fact that i need to add
rman to the DEPENDS file of XOrg (with the explanation which program
needs it) AND... really you can not use *any* bash scripting in the
DEPENDS file... so if's and then's.... are forbidden

So....
1. Could you file a bug-report on the default XOrg7 profile to add rman
to the DEPENDS
2. Make sure you have the /usr/X11R6 --> /usr link and check if
mesa-glu and xscreensaver install afterwards?

cheers, S.
