4.1 v 4.2
Authored by: Black on Apr 24, '02 11:18:40PM

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.
