My concern is that some Apple installers don't replace newer versions
of files. Are we certain that the X11 installers from Apple will do a
blanket replacement of the existing files? Also I worry about changes to
any local user plist that might not be backward compatible with the
original Leopard X11 release.
This is also a concern of mine. I've been hand-upgrading X11 items because I
would like my X system to be as functional as possible, but I would
definitely prefer to have something that works and is auto-updated by
Apple...so, when there's an Apple-supported version of X11, I'd rather
downgrade to that (or at least have the option of doing so).
Unrelatedly, I was just upgrading X for the first time in a while, based on
the info at
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz/wiki/X112.1.0.1
...and I'm not really sure how I should be going about things. It'd be nice
if one of the pages provided a brief guide as to how to ensure you are
"up-to-date."
What I've done:
* Upgraded Xquartz, by downloading Xquartz-1.3.0-apple4.bz2 and
"install -b"ing it.
* Upgraded the X11 by downloading X11-2.1.0.1.pkg and installing it.
* I have no idea if these are redundant
* I have no idea if I should also download and compile
xorg-server-1.3.0-apple4, or whether the 2.1.0.1 upgrade handled that.
