Well, simply because it doesn't exist, yet?
In my opinion an N-Standard would long have been agreed upon if there weren't all these draft-n things around. They really hinder the progress of wireless standards and thus should not be supported by anyone or anything.
Just like here. I've come across a number of wrong answers in this place. I've probably given some myself.
What bothers me here is a lot of arrogance displayed towards the Linux communities. It's one thing to think such things, but quite another to go public with that elitist bullshit.
It's -L.
You have to give a complete locale such as en_GB.UTF-8. But that's really just necessary for fstab mounting during boot. Else it will be chosen from your current locale settings.
Yes, this can happen. Especially with ports the response time is normally way better.
Anyway, in my opinion popularity is not the solution to poor communication. The first thing is that users who think a patch would be useful to them should hit the submit followup button and say so.
The...
Well, the safest way is to duplicate the machine, do the update on the duplicate and test it there. If it works, use the duplicate and update the original. How safe you can get all depends on how much time/money/work you are willing to invest.
This would certainly break everything. X depends on lots of libraries and all your Xorg 7.3 (or earlier?) stuff would be linked to lots of libraries that do not exist any more.
I suggest you instead turn off the HAL support for Xorg before building it and you'll hardly notice a change with Xorg...
I find it quite bearable when HAL support is turned off. 3D performance has dropped slightly for my Intel onboard video card, but the change is not very significant.
Actually you should always use -R with portupgrade when updating a particular port, to make sure everything it depends on is up to date.
UPDATING suggests -rf when something that lots of ports depend on is updated and has a library version number change and the depending ports do not get...
You know that all that xml-mangling is no longer necessary?
You just have to go to /usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.d and link to all the features you want in /usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.avail.
