Hi,
I just installed XQuartz-2.7.11_rc1.dmg which mentions this report/patch/etc
(upgrading 2.7.10[final]).
I am still on OSX-10.6.8 (still on disability etc and only have a model
"imac6,1"[1] here, still unable to afford a new model which is the *only* way
to """upgrade""" to a supported o.s. etc [and yes I an *quite* aware even the
Zilla™folk don't care about us-po'ppl also, don't get me started………]).
Along with this bug (which I've had to put-up-with for several years, and
mentioned it on the xquartz-devel maillist some time ago), even with
2.7.11_rc1, I am still seeing e.g.,
<span class="quote">> installer[98140]: ./postinstall: /System/Library/Fonts: failed to write cache</span >
for every subdir under the various Fonts dirs following this line in the
installer log,
<span class="quote">> installer[98140]: ./postinstall: font_cache: Updating FC cache</span >
but we end up with a "good" run as shown,
<span class="quote">> installer[98140]: ./postinstall: font_cache: Done
> installer[98140]: PackageKit: Registered bundle file://localhost/Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/
> installer[98140]: PackageKit: Registered bundle file://localhost/Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/Autoupdate.app/
> installer[98140]: Installed "XQuartz 2.7.11_rc1" ()
> installer[98140]: PackageKit: ----- End install -----
> […]</span >
I'll attach a zip'd Terminal log to this report.
Yes my local login-id has full admin privs etc etc etc, being the first/only
one generated since day-1, honest. ;p
FWIW
I use the Pan newsreader with GNome/GLib/etc (not current code), browsing the
GMane.org system that holds mailists (newsgroups) some 500+ to which I've
subscribed, etc. I notice the fontconfig list has been helping to alleviate
the cache problem, and indeed I'm impressed so far with the work on this.
Another FWIW
I do not use any of the port systems (Macports, Fink, etc) since I have
upgraded several subsystems e.g. Perl etc (with the help of ActiveState.com and
others) to where the port systems won't work as expected. I have resorted to
doing all this by hand with deep study+planning including having to use their
OSX-mandated patches if needed. Yes this is mainly how I spend my time
nowadays, related to my paid job (mainframe shop with state-wide wired network
before the Internet) -- all this should help keep my brain sharp.
Thanks for putting up with me.
I'll stay tuned for anything further.

btw I've "lost" almost everything else I've owned, including several PPC
models, am carless now, sleep problems, etc.
