With the release of OSX Mountain Lion and its new Gatekeeper feature I
wanted to ask if any thought had been given by the community of applying to
Apple for a Developer ID. My limited understanding is that by signing the
installation files with the Developer ID it automatically unlocks the
gatekeeper and allows the application to run. Otherwise there is a short
process that one must go through to change the security settings for the
application allowing it to open.
We'd like to do code signing, not only for Mac but for Windows as
well. Signed installers are the new normal and are expected by
browser, anti-virus scanners and increasingly by operating systems.
Although we have volunteers willing to do the build integration work,
and funds available for acquiring certificates, we've been told that
individual Apache projects may not do their own signing. The Apache
Infrastructure team is trying to figure out some way that this can be
done centrally. But no estimate for when this will happen.
exactly and at the moment we can only wait, I have no idea how we can help
further at the moment. Any ideas are welcome.
In the meantime we should add a note about the new Gatekeeper of Mountain Lion.
It's a one time ctrl-click or opening via the context menu. After that you can
run it as normal without any further dialog from the system.
I tried it out and forget to take screenshot to document it.

Juergen;
I added a short writeup to the 3.4.1 release notes and included a link
to a Mountain Lion support article explaining it and how to make the
required changes. The link was given by Larry Gusaas in the user mailing
list in response to a question by a user contemplating updating to
Mountain Lion.
