There have been reports that the X11 sourcefiles which Apple distributed
will compile on Jaguar and produce a usable X11 installation.
Unfortunately, Fink does not recognize this X11 installation at the moment,
since it is based on XFree86 4.3 rather than XFree86 4.2.x. Fink's
"system-xfree86" packages assumes that your non-Fink install of X11
was based on 4.2.x.
The Fink team has a lot of changes to cope with to prepare for Panther
(many of them not dealing with NDA'd stuff, such as the switch to gcc 3.3
and the various packages whose source was released by Apple last week).
People who would like to help are encouraged to join in. In particular,
one of the Fink developers has an "experimental" system-xfree86 package
which might work with the self-compiled X11, but he has no way to test
it. (In fink's CVS repository, under /experimental/rangerrick). If
any of you wanted to test this and send him the test reports, that would
be great.
It might also be possible to make a Fink package based on Apple's source
release, if anybody wanted to do that.
