I'm not sure of that. Actually, I'd vote for writing an script for building the .dmg/.pkg automatically (when I tried to generate the binary packages, I ended up having to interact with a GUI). In that way we could upload OS X packages on each single code release at almost no (time) cost. I'm saying that because I could tell you about a dozen of programs I've installed on my MacOS X that I haven't updated since then - and I have no intention to do so either. Since I've done that, I expect other people to do the same. Quite shamefully I have not even installed Ports, but again, I haven't felt the need. -- Octality http://www.octality.com/ _______________________________________________ Cherokee mailing list [email protected] http://lists.octality.com/listinfo/cherokee
