:-) A wise decission. Sometimes when looking back I wish I had done 
it the same instead of overreacting that is something I will have 
to learn.

M112 is a beast. Hopes are that m113 will be better. I decided to 
wait for m113 and integrate the changes in this build.

Well there is and was a documentation in Issuezilla from Kevin B. 
Hendricks how to pack the 1.1.x builds with Apple packagemaker and 
in another Issue additions from Patrick Luby how to prevent the 
Apple Installer from messing up the permission rights. If you want 
it I can take a look at my bookmarks and sent you those two Issues. 
Or at least the last issue I just found the packing Instructions 
rtf file that I got from Kevin and which has some additional infos 
but not the latest ones from Patrick Luby.

Ask Stefan Taxhet if he gives you access to macosxrc stardiv 
mirror. There you can place your 1.1.x RC builds and if they are 
placed there I can try to motivate and activate my german QA 
testers for Mac OS X. 

If your build runs from Jaguar to Tiger the only problem I can see 
is to find a german user out of my group that still uses Jaguar but 
maybe we find en-US testers for Jaguar.

Most of them were fixed but with m112 new ones came back.

Good decision.

Yes please do so. It would be really good to know if James McKenzie 
only has bad luck with building OOo or if there are really big 
issues in 1.1.5. You have to use gcc 3.3 which comes with XCode 2.0 
and 2.1 for Tiger simply because OOo isn't ready for Tigers gcc 4.0 
- that's one of the next major tasks need to be done simply because 
of the Intel move.
