Actually the xorg-x11 packages are not built from the -src files but from a
CVS checkout becuase of the monolitic structure. The correct solution would
be one large -src file and several bin packages which must all be updated
even if only a small package like xorg-x11-xwin has changed. In fact, the
font packages are still on version 6.8.1 while the binaries have been updated
to 6.8.2 in the meantime, but the fonts were kept at the older version to save
unnecessary downloads.
Same for the fnts and fcyr package. fnts has been changed (a small tool for
updating the font indices) but fcyr has not, so I did not pull it to the newer
version.
