I think if you pull in xorg-libX11 first, it'll be fine, but I need someone to test that first...

#17436: xrender fails to upgrade on Panther

Changes (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):

* status:  new => closed
* resolution:  => wontfix

So how about maybe something like this?

If a change to a port (for whatever reason) is known to break or not work on panther

Create a "new" port, maybe named something like "xrender-panther", that is the state of the port prior to the latest upgrade.

It would be incumbent on people using panther to uninstall the "old but non-working" port and install the "new" port that keeps everything "the way it was".

The "new" port can be "nomaintainer". It wouldn't be changed any more, so folks running Panther wouldn't have to worry about any future upgrades.

Just a thought.
