Apple are trying to impose a rule that all executables on OSX are signed. I am more or less convinced this is a good idea. It at least isn't the "you are only allowed to install software that comes from the Apple Store", which is what Apple would really like to do, but which would be a disaster. There is an option in the security menu to say whether you want applications only from the Apple Store, only signed or no restriction. You have to switch this to no restriction to install unsigned DMG. People have convinced me that leaving the setting on signed only is the right thing, escaping out of that for specific DMG you know the total history of. I am away from an OSX machine for a couple more days, so this is entirely from memory The moral of this story is that the DMG should be signed. Actually this goes for the RPM and Deb files as well. Also stuff on Jordi's Debian site and elsewhere. The question is whose signature and whose CA. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
