I seem to have problems building the following packages:

x11/xfwp
x11/xhost
x11/xkbevd
x11/xkbutils
x11/xkbprint

at the moment I've commented these out in the meta-pkgs/modular-xorg-apps
Makefile, I'm not an expert at X11 but I think X will run without these
applications, and I guess I probably won't miss the functionality.

Also, x11/xlogo apparently has a dependency on expat which is not
specified in the pkgsrc Makefile. It seems that one must first build
textproc/expat in order to successfully build x11/xlogo. So maybe this is
something that needs to be looked at?


Thank you
