Description Steve Tremblett 2002-08-19 17:10:08 UTC 
On a ports tree updated on August 18, running make in
/usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 results in the following behaviour:

sjt-bsd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 # make
===>  Extracting for XFree86-4.2.0_1,1

Fix: 

<how to correct or work around the problem, if known (multiple lines)>
How-To-Repeat: 
sjt-bsd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 # make
===>  Extracting for XFree86-4.2.0_1,1

you may want to use `make install clean' to achieve the expected
behaviour.

this is a meta port just run-depending on various other ports.

This is completely expected.  XFree86-4 is a metaport.  To actually
install what's included in XFree86-4, you must "make install", which
will pick up its dependencies.  If you are trying to upgrade from a
previous version of XFree86, use portupgrade -R.

If there is a failure building its dependencies when you portupgrade -R,
please file a PR.
