A buildbot exists for PPC, but not intel
The assumption I believe being if you have an intel machine, you should
update at least to 10.6... the 10.5 buildbot exists because that is the last
OS supporting PPC machines.
There is no special reason for *not* having the 10.5/intel bot
available except that the demand for it is pretty low and each
buildbot consumes some resources and nobody bothered adding it.
The reasons for not having a 10.5 Intel builder are that
no users should need it (all users on 10.5 Intel should upgrade to 10.6)
Why?
many reasons. For instance security. In my view users should always
migrate their machines to the most up to date OS they can run, one that
is still receiving security updates, in order to not expose themselves
to possible issues. 10.5 for sure hasn't received any security updates
in a long long while...
and the packages it would create would take up disk space on all mirrors
What is the proportion of the (would be) 10.5.8 packages to the overal size?
(No doubt it's a lot of space, but what portion of it is one platform?)
