This message is relevant to anyone using ports that until now
depended on the render port:
* cairo / cairo-devel
* gthumb
* gtk2
* libgdiplus
* rxvt-unicode
* wine / wine-devel
* xrender
The render port has been replaced with the xorg-renderproto port.
They are the same software; the latter is just a newer version. So we
are removing the render port.
If you use any of the above ports, you may find at your next update
that MacPorts wants to install xorg-renderproto but that it conflicts
with the render port:
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/
include/X11/extensions/render.h is being used by the active render
port. Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force
the activation.
What you should do if you get this message is forcibly uninstall the
render port and then activate the xorg-renderproto port.
sudo port -f uninstall render
sudo port activate xorg-renderproto
