FWIW, moving from svn to github isn't too hard, as I managed it for all of my projects when googlecode shut down a few years ago. Not that I recall how to do it, and the update checking is indeed a problem. > As for the AppStore, I don’t have a license and am not willing to pay for it. > Moreover, probably it would be rejected, because we use features they do not > allow. And we are open source, so paying would be hard. A Mac developer on twitter once told me that if I really cared about my TeX Live Utility users, I'd pay Apple's certificate fee, since it's not that much money. Since I haven't even used TeX in a decade, I see no reason to fork out $100 per year for Apple security theater that makes development even less pleasant. One-time cost? Sure, I might, but not every year. Apple sees no value in supporting open source projects, and frankly I see little value in Apple these days. When my Mojave system dies, I'm probably jumping ship after 30 years of using a Mac. -- adam _______________________________________________ Bibdesk-develop mailing list Bibdesk-develop@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bibdesk-develop
