The server in xquartz.org 2.7.11 is "xorg-server 1.18.4 plus other patches"
It's a repackaging of what also gets built for MacPorts, but on MacPorts, xorg-server is 1.20.6. In other words, the xquartz.org package doesn't get updated nearly as often as MacPorts. It is of course easier to install, since you just need one package vs installing MacPorts base, and then the xorg-server port (which will automatically install all its dependencies) - and maybe other MacPorts ports as well, if anything is missing then. Some details change, and there's an X11 app vs the Xquartz app; but aside from various directory and file name differences (since one could install both, although would usually just have the launch daemon and launch agent for one enabled), the principles are pretty much the same. Yes, according to reports, the x.org server itself will eventually fade away. But there remain more active updates of it for macOS than what's on xquartz.org. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
