[chromium-dev] Re: OSX 10.4 and PPC support?
The sandbox support isn't supported on 10.4. I know our linux brethren are still debating sandboxing for their release, but I don't think we'd want any Mac version to not have it.

Almost certainly not going to happen. To clarify: v8 depends on x86 and porting to a new architecture is a lot of work. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Chromium Developers mailing list: chromium-dev@googlegroups.com View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---
[chromium-dev] Re: OSX 10.4 and PPC support?
Thanks for the prompt replies! I understand the decision not to support PPC with V8, thanks for the clarification. Even if there are no current plans for OSX 10.4 (naturally, getting Chrome stable on 10.5 should be the priority right now)-- I'd be very happy if such backward-compatibility for all those users still on Tiger could make its way in eventually. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Chromium Developers mailing list: chromium-dev@googlegroups.com View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

Our initial focus is on 10.5, so 10.4 support will probably depend on someone taking it on closer to (or after) it's feature complete. We don't have any active plans for it, but neither would we discourage anyone from working on it. Also, on a related note, are there also any plans for supporting the PPC architecture in the future? Not currently. It would require, among other things, a PPC code generator for V8.
