What's plan for USE_LINUX with USE_XLIB?

Hello folks,

I am not sure what's plan for USE_LINUX with USE_XLIB? I am
maintaining  
for www/linux-opera and this port is last one that have
USE_XLIB in my  
maintainship of ports. I am wondering if I should remove
USE_XLIB from  
linux-opera and manual add dependencies in Makefile or I
should wait for  
something to get change in future? Thanks.

BTW: Please CC to me as I am not in this list.

Cheers,
Mezz

We used this to select the right X11 port during a
transition period.
Strictly speaking it's not needed currently, but it will be
needed in
the next transition period. Boris is working on a system
like you use
in GNOME to select some linux dependencies. I think the X
stuff is a
good candidate for this.

He wants to introduce this in the near future, so for now
just keep the
USE_XLIB (the behavior is redefined in the USE_LINUX case
anyway).

Bye,
Alexander.

Awsome, look forward for that. I shall keep USE_XLIB until
it's ready.  
Thanks!
