The macosforge/xquartz project is sponsored by Apple, so its results will eventually find their way into the "official" X11. The X11 distributed with 10.5.6, for example, is based on an earlier version, 2.2.0 or so, of macosforge/xquartz. Most of the problems we are seeing in building Fink packages with with X11 come from Apple's stupid idea of distributing a tiny part of X11 as a separate X11SDK.pkg. If they don't give up on this (and since this appears to be a political decision affecting several teams, it is not sure), they will be able to break even the most wunderful X11 distribution coming from macosforge/xquartz. This kind of breakage is also something that regularly happens in minor system softwareupdates or, typically, in the last three weeks before a new system release after all the testing has been done (Looking forward to 10.6 ;-) .) In addition, the latest problem we were discussing here, the absence of *.la files in /usr/X11/lib, is something macosforge/xquartz is heading to, too. Fink has to prepare for it in any case. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
