"Re: OS X build signature"

I am pasting its most important part for this bug report regarding OS X
lang-pack installation mechanism:

"For another, our language pack mechanism copies files into an existing 
LO installation, which is not endorsed at least by the updated (>= 
10.9.5) GateKeeper:

If the installed LO had never been started before the language pack is 
installed into it, trying to open LO leads to a "'LibreOffice' is 
damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash." error and 
requires to lower "System Preferences... - Security & Privacy - General 
- Allow apps downloaded from: Anywhere."

If the installed LO had already been started before the language pack is 
installed into it, it appears that Gatekeeper does not re-verify the 
modified LO installation, and allows to open LO (at least on 10.10.2)."

Since most non-English users automatically install lang-pack over a new LO
installation without first running the install, it means that most non-English
users will run into this problem.

There is also a rights problem with the lang-pack install, see separate bug
report: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89561
