I am guessing here; I don't know why it's hard masked. I suggest you look |
18 |
at the ChangeLog and address the question to spyderous. |
19 |
|
20 |
That said: |
21 |
I think one of the reasons is the font directory change, but I am not part |
22 |
of the xfree herd, and I have no direct information. |
23 |
|
24 |
I can tell you that for sparc, it runs just like xfree-4.3.0-r5, but with |
25 |
the font move. I can also tell you that for sparc, you are better off |
26 |
bypassing 4.3.0-r6, 4.3.xx, and moving directly to xorg-x11. But I am |
27 |
not developing tools to run on both. |
28 |
|
29 |
I don't know what architectures interest you, but sparc is not likely |
30 |
to be high on your list :) |
31 |
|
32 |
(On sparc, I would say "go for it (-r6) if you need to," but I do not |
33 |
presume to suggest that is the case for anything else. I would also |
34 |
say "don't even think about 4.3.99-xxx, because it likely won't work |
35 |
the way you want, and you won't get much sympathy if you complain." But |
36 |
I am speaking for myself here.) |

That I believe. |
