But anyway, this problem is not really serious, it currently only
concerns one easily fixable package.
I take this back. With the latest Xquartz release you managed to break
all Fink package builds that need X11. The reason is not the decreasing
version number, but the change in wording. Just until yesterday or so,
`X -version` gave
Xquartz server based on X.org Release 1.3, built on 20071201
Now it seems to give (I have this from third party, I won't try this
myself, not wanting to destroy my Fink installation):
X.Org Xquartz X Server 1.3.0-apple3
That is, you removed the words "X.org Release" which had been there
before and which Fink was looking for. I understand that this
corresponds to what you were saying, namely that you are against the
notion of X.org Releases. But maybe the notion of backward compatibility
has some value too?
I guess Fink will have to advise its users for the near future not to
install your latest Xquartz offerings.
