Even if we came up with a virtual package handler to pick up the Xquartz version and broadcast that to allow versioned dependencies (system-xfree86 won't cut it as is), on 10.5 Xquartz is extraordinarily fragile, since Apple seems to downgrade an X11 library with every update. _If_ we had the resources, the best answer would be to roll our own X11 based on Xquartz, and install it within the Fink tree. That would guarantee known versions of the components and would be safe from system updates. - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkwfaJAACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ/ZQwCdHM5EOdQOetDgUROQql5pZ9s1 zMEAn2qWNMD0KUaQ11aVNuQbB9zYPAiy =7geX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
