This program runs an X server after sanity-checking the environment
and any options passed to it. It is meant to enhance security on
multi-user systems running XFree86 4 or the X11 server from x.org,
where the ability to use a startx script is needed. If you have
XFree86 3, do not install this: you do not need it and it will not
work. If you have no untrusted users or always run the X server
from xdm, you do not need this.
- Please welcome Xorg 7.5.1
The X-Server has been patched to the latest 1.7.X series, drivers
and fonts have been updated to the latest versions. This update includes
some components from Xorg 7.6 with a lot of improvements, and it seems
that the performance is much better than the old version. Also this
Update fix build issues with clang and binutils 2.17.50 in current,
remove 6.X gruft and de-author pkg-descr.

- Remove superfluous (second) COMMENT assignment
- Unmute program installation statement
- Explicitly state that do-fetch target is empty per what bpm suggests
- Clean up Makefile
- Use canonical spelling of X.Org in pkg-descr, kill attribution (port
author is credited in Makefile header)

Remove support for XFree8-4.
From now on, X_WINDOW_SYSTEM != "xorg" is not supported anymore.

Reset maintainership to ports@ after ~4 months without any response to any
PR.
Thanks for contributing.
Since the acroread7 port is a somewhat important port for our users, I
will hand it over to emulation@ if no _active_ *committer* takes it
before the ports freeze.
While I'm here:
- fix a little nit in the csound port (I think the intention was to
create no backup file instead of creating one with a "-e" extension)
- set ARCH to i386 in the amd64 case for the acroread7 port. This
is a work-around to be able to install everything when a dependency
is not already installed (ARCH is read-only in sub-makes, so the
dependencies can't change it). This should be removed when the
dependencies are fixed or converted to use bsd.linux-rpm.mk. [1]

- Add the X_WINDOW_SYSTEM={xorg,xfree86-4,xfree86-3} variable to bsd.port.mk,
and make XFREE86_VERSION map to it. XFREE86_VERSION is now deprecated.
- Make xorg the default X_WINDOW_SYSTEM on -current.
- Add several new X_*_PORT variables which point to various pieces of X11 based
on the setting of X_WINDOW_SYSTEM, and make ports use them.
- Add information to CHANGES about how to handle the transition.

Fix package deinstallation: only move X.bck over X if the former exists.
Since pkg_deinstall(1) invokes the package deinstall script twice,
at the second invocation X.bck is no longer there, and mv(1), even with
the -f flag, returns a non-zero exit code. The shell executing the script
propagates this exit code right back unto pkg_deinstall(1), which complains
and aborts the package deinstallation.
I wish I had not forgotten about this problem, so this could go in
before DP1 was cut :(

On deinstallation, do not apply an SUID bit to the X server, since neither the
XFree86-4 nor XFree86-4-Server ports install privileged X servers any longer.
Add wrapper, a program that runs an X server after sanity-checking the
environment and any options passed to it. It is meant to enhance security on
multi-user systems running XFree86 4.x, where the ability to use a startx
script is needed.
