AFFECTS: users of x11/xorg graphics/dri graphics/libGL and
related ports
AUTHOR: [email protected]
The default xorg version has been switched on FreeBSD 10-STABLE and
FreeBSD 9-STABLE.
To upgrade graphics/libGL, graphics/dri and related MESA ports,
it is
necessary to first remove the old versions of those ports.
No special upgrade procedure is needed for xorg ports but it is
necessary to recompile all xorg drivers (xf86-*) and other ports
that
depend on the xserver version, including
emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions. Portrevisions have been bumped
where needed, but users of drivers not in the ports tree will
need to
recompile those.
If it is important to stay on the old versions, it is possible to
specify WITHOUT_NEW_XORG= in /etc/make.conf to get the old xorg
distribution.
My make.conf file:
WITH_PKGNG=yes
WITHOUT_NEW_XORG=yes
I did portsnap fetch update, and then did:
#> cd /usr/ports/x11/kde4
#> make missing >/tmp/missing_files
I massaged the /tmp/missing_files to use pkg to try to download
a package if it was in the repository. If they were not, I then
tried to use 'make BATCH=YES install' to compile and install the port.
Unfortunately, many ports have been updated with calls to the Mesa
API that do not exist in the WITHOUT_NEW_XORG version of Mesa. As a
result, you can no longer build/run recent version of those ports
WITHOUT_NEW_XORG. KDE is probably the bast known of these.
That leaves two options:
1. Move to the new Xorg versions (which may not support some older
hardware)
2. Use an old (and possibly vulnerable) version of KDE
The Xorg and KDE folks simply don't provide any other options that I
am aware of.

OK, then could they please update the CHANGES file and state that?
And/or put a warning in the UPDATING or CHANGES ports file:
WITHOUT_NEW_XORG option not supported
I appreciate the problems, I was just hoping that there was a trivial
solution to them...
