<with individual developer hat on only> Earlier I brought up switcing netbsd-5 to X11_TYPE=modular. People said that it was unfortunate that pkgsrc/netbsd-5/X11_TYPE=native didn't get along, and I agreed with that sentiment. We had a lot of churn, I think not really about MesaLib, and I thought this was fixed. But bulk builds are showing that MesaLib is still not building ok, and they are what counts. So I'd like to switch netbsd-5 to X11_TYPE=modular, unless someone would like to fix it (well before the next branch*, and likely with a pullup to the current branch). I understand the desire to use native X, but it's IMHO far more important to have a non-broken branch. * I view flipping netbsd-5 to modular as a minor issue that only affects netbsd-5. On the other hand, generally rototilling X11 stuff in pkgsrc at or just before branch time is destabilizing. Please let us know if you are working on fixing MesaLib. If you have an argument for why, if MesaLib isn't fixed, netbsd-5 shouldn't move to modular, please explain. I'd like to see some motion by 5/1, so that we can work through several sequential problems before we run up against the next branch deadline.
