There’s no real reason we couldn’t, but we’d still have to make adjustments in
our existing setup. I picked out system-xfree86 because it’s already present.
We’ve generally been using dependencies on just “x11” and splitoffs. These are
Provides: of system-xfree86 and splitoffs, and were also Provides: of Fink’s
XFree86 and Xorg packages. As such, they’re unversioned.
My preference was for an aggregated version because the recent annoying changes
in Xquartz didn’t involve any updates from the upstream codebase, and therefore
the .pc files weren’t updated in version. My thought was that we’d just have
to use things like Depends: system-xfree86 ( >= 3:2.7.112 ) | <some fink X11
package library> if a Fink X11 became a thing again and used /opt/X11. Or,
more likely, we’d have Fink’s x11 use %p/X11 and not support the use of XQuartz.
