Re: mac ox package and wiki update

[Vincent Privat]

Hi Richard,
Thank you for your contribution to the wiki.
As you may have noticed, the wiki is community-based. Most of people who
edit it are not JOSM core developers. This allows us to focus on improving
JOSM code rather than maintaining documentation.
This modification has been made by a community member who I'm sure did not
meant to start an edit war.
Looking at the change:
https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Download?action=diff=107

I think Stereo simply wanted to remove the obsolete information about 10.8
and did not notice he removed the information about 10.12.

I'm going to restore it. Thanks for making us notice this mistake. I hope
you will change your mind and continue to contribute to the JOSM wiki :)

mac ox package and wiki update

[Richard Welty]

a couple of weeks ago i updated the wiki with a procedure for getting
the josm app working in mac os 10.12 that was different from prior versions.
in the interim i see that my update was removed in an edit labeled

"Removed obsolete and irrelevant macOS info"

the one method left in the wiki for mac os x does not work on my mac
running mac os 10.12.3. the method that works is the one i added to
the wiki. i know this because i just updated and things went the same
way as before.

in the interests of avoiding an edit war in the wiki i am not
putting it back. but folks, if you're going to do an edit like that,
you should be very sure you're right, and then double check.
