System: NetBSD zoo 1.4P NetBSD 1.4P (ZOO) #0: Fri Dec 31 21:09:59 MST 1999 local@zoo:/home/local/compile/sys/arch/i386/compile/ZOO i386


>Description:
	The packages graphics/dx and graphics/dxsamples are marked as
	broken (since Oct. 27, 1999) on account of "compilation problems"
	with dx (dxsamples depends on dx, and is marked broken by virtue
	of the dependency).  However, I've recently built them on two i386
	boxes with -current installations of Dec. 25, 1999 and Jan. 1, 2000
	vintage with no evidence of any compilation problems.  They seem to
	work fine, but I haven't given them much exercise.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Edit the Makefile to permit compilation and then build them.

>Fix:
	If they are broken on some platforms, perhaps there's some way to
	mark them as broken only on those (I haven't looked).  If not,
	perhaps a comment should be put into the Makefiles indicating that
	the breakage is selective.  Or maybe they're just not broken
	anywhere anymore.
