Do you happen to know if the pkg url ending with .../release/0 can be used for a long time going forward or is it just a temporary facility? I had to use it to get my desktop back on my machine so I didn't have to compile it all but a lot of the packages now need updating so it seems i'm either stuck with out-of-date software or have to go ahead with changing to the WITH_NEW_XORG stuff.
