Hi folks: After upgrading, I discovered that the SL (10.6) distributed X11.app clobbers the X11.app v. 2.4.0 I had installed, and (unlike with 10.5.X point updates), there are no plans to release an X11.app update before ca. December. So this means users who linked to recently released X11.app libraries will likely experience problems.
Is this something we should address? The libraries in question appear to include the following: Regressions from X11.app 2.4.0 to SL X11.app /usr/X11/lib/libOSMesa.4.dylib not present in SL X11 /usr/X11/lib/libxcb-xlib.0.dylib not present in SL X11 /usr/X11/lib/libxcb-keysyms.1.dylib not present in SL X11 /usr/X11/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib (compatibility version 5.0.0 vs 6.0.0 in X11 2.4.0) /usr/X11/lib/libpng.3.dylib (compatibility version 39.0.0 vs 41.0.0 in X11 2.4.0) /usr/X11/lib/libpng12.0.dylib (compatibility version 36.0.0, vs 38.0.0 in X11 2.4.0) /usr/X11/lib/libxcb-randr.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0 vs 2.0.0 in X11 2.4.0) Of these, I've only run into problems with /usr/X11/lib/libfontconfig. 1.dylib so far (and lazily swiped the later version from another computer to resolve the problem). The X11.app upgrade pathway appears to be a source of user frustration. Would fink be better served to have its own X11 installation, as we did back with 10.4 and earlier?
