Understood. However, the one big advantage of one codebase is that of lesser maintenance burden. If we start maintaining a Mac-specific installer layout and installer tools, it increases our burden. And most likely we'd need to create Linux binary packages using build.opensuse.org too, which again adds burden. So, as much as this would look desirable, it will not leave the paper unless someone volunteers to start experimenting with it. Let's see some volunteers trying it during the 5.2.x timeframe. If it works fine, we can release it officially for 5.3.0. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center
