[sles-beta] YaST2 from SSH failing again with SLES12B8

[Darren Thompson]

Gregory

This is (sad) news for me and would stop me even considering buying an
apple product in future "Apple no longer ships X on its installation media".

It's a terrible shame as Apple makes "good value" hardware (personal
opinion, taking into account battery life etc).

How hard is it to get the sources/binaries for XQuartz?
