It's pretty deeply ingrained, though, whatever it is--even commericial X servers have to use /usr/X11R6 . Packaging up the system's version seems like the only way out that doesn't violate Fink's policies.

Thanks. As you can see, I'm not familiar with the way XFree gets built and installed, or what would make it harder to relocate. Is it because imake is so arcane?
I'm asking mainly because, generally, it's damn nice to benefit from Fink versions and yet be able to check, by just changing a PATH, that stuff will still work on someone else's stock Apple system.

I believe this would have been done by now if it were easy--XFree86 really doesn't like being moved.
There was a discussion on -devel about having Fink package up the system's X11 as a .deb file, so that it could be restored easily.
