My bad...
Authored by: el_barto_2002 on Apr 24, '02 04:02:16PM

I also had an old non-fink installation of Xfree, but after this update, XDarwin.app is version 1.0.5 when the previous one is 1.1.

Both worked with this new fink installation.

Somebody knows why?

Regards,

El Barto

4.1 v 4.2

You probably had a more recent version installed. I had a non-fink version 4.2 installed previously. I decided to switch to the fink install just to make future upgrades easier.

The binary version that you get through apt-get appears to be version 4.1.99. If you do a fink upgrade xfree86-base and fink upgrade xfree86-rootless it should download the sources and compile them for you. Of course I tried earlier today and all my attempts timed out. In theory, you can grab the sources from any of the XFree86 mirror sites and stick them in your /sw/src directory and fink will just use them instead. I haven't had the time to go and try oit yet.

Of course, it may be that we will see the 4.2 binaries in a couple of days.
