I agree that separate co-existing packages for each minor version are the way to go. I also agree that Aqua would be nice, but that could be added later if it is going to hold up getting modern non-Aqua versions in place which work right now. I just checked, and all I changed for 2.45.4 was the version number and the checksum, Source-MD5: b345bff33a6fa21a9733904facd9fca6. I then dropped this file unchanged into my 10.7 local tree and it worked. cheers, -- Viv ________________________________________________ Dr Viv Kendon http://quantum.leeds.ac.uk/~viv tel: +44 113 343 4864 Physics and Astronomy Quantum Information Group University of Leeds ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
