Hi P.O.,

I understand your points. I have always been ‘bleeding edge’ and I mostly enjoy 
solving the problems. I agree that Apple make a lot of trouble for us but I 
always have a linux machine which is one 'git pull' away from me being able to 
continue whatever I am working on.

Personally, I used the zsh shell for years and years already and I would not 
have noticed the switch if Cataling did not break autoenv that I used a lot. 
But I think the decision to discontinue the use of 32bit executables is a 
really daft decision; it is really a downward slope: z/OS can run 24, 31 and 64 
bit code alongside and call eachother, OS/2 could thunk 16 and 32 bit code, 
then Linux made it impossible to mix libraries and now Apple only has 64 bit. 
Even Raspberries can (with nearly everything except Raspbian) mix ARM7 and 
aarch64.

I have a plan to have a .dmg installer ready very soon, for my own use but 
maybe as a standard for the portable mac version. I’ll let you know this week, 
my plan was to just run it from the Jenkins machine after the builds. I need to 
look at your portable distribution first. I found you can turn the notarization 
off recursively for a directory tree with:

sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine $OOREXX_HOME

even without turning off SIP. So a .dmg installer seems fine and has my 
preference.

best regards,

René.
