The xfree86-base package and friends are not in the 10.3 tree at all (which
is how things will stay).



I thought that was probably the case, but since they were in 0.6.2 I figured I'd better chime in.


In the 10.2-gcc3.3 tree, it seems we have version -16 in stable and version
-18 in unstable. Does -18 fix the problem you mention? Should it be moved
to stable?



I would assume no, because even in -18 these packages don't list system-xfree86 among their Conflicts:, cf. the xfree86 package where this was added because xfree86-shlibs kept getting installed over people's Apple X11.

Since this has been a major topic on the mailing lists, the 4.2.1.1
XFree86 packages:

xfree86-base | rootless-(threaded)-(shlibs)

don't work on Panther and should be excluded from the Panther bindist.
Also, it appears that they can overwrite an external X11
installation--there have been quite a few problems with users having
one of these packages as well as system-xfree86, so this should be
fixed for the Jaguar bindist.

I plan to start creating a binary release for 10.3 in about a week.

If you are aware of any of your packages in the 10.3/stable tree which
are
*not* suitable for binary release, please either fix them or remove
them
from that tree.


  Thanks,
