One HUGE important difference is before, one could always simply reinstall the Xquartz latest version, but in this case, the installer prevents you from doing so (it has to be 10.5) and no 10.6-compatible update is planned prior to December. As a maintainer, it looks as if the only thing I can do is to throw everything into the fire and recompile fink from scratch, to find out if they still compile. > > The position has always been: users are free to use the unofficial > Xquartz update, but they need to reinstall it after updating anything, > as is explicitly mentioned on its download page.
