I would even go further and claim there is no need for separate base and server packages. Right now you have to download the 50MB sources twice. If I am not mistaken, the sources for the base package are from June 2001 and those for rootless from December, so it is rather surprising that this mixture is working at all. I am not speaking from experience, because I always use system-xfree86 and compile xfree86 from the cvs sources. But from various error messages on the lists I get the impression that the present xfree86 packages are not working too well. The cvs sources are pretty bug-free at the moment, so a snapshot taken right now should be usable for the whole fink xfree86 package (but don't call the tarball stored at sourceforge "snapshot"; this doesn't sound stable enough for some). -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
