Ben has been running clean builds of the several hundred packages that will be affected by this update, to catch build problems, missing dependencies, ... so that users don't wind up with busted systems. Checking out stuff from the pangocairo-branch in fink's CVS might be a way to help to find any further gotchas. I don't know how fast his clean build box is, so maybe the use of a faster one would be helpful. Maybe there are architecture-specific items that aren't getting covered. And now it has to work on Leopard, too. - -- Alexander K.
