Hey fellow macOS users. I'm looking for volunteers to test out new LMS
builds for your Mac. Currently we still use an OSX 10.5(!) virtual
machine to build our packages. The whole package relies on Perl being
installed on your system and obviously doesn't fully support Apple
Silicon. (but hey: that machine boots up in seconds!) 

Apple announced they're going to remove scripting languages from macOS.
I think it already happened for php and python... So there's a lot of
work to do. 

In a first step I'm trying to get LMS to run with our own custom build
of Perl, which would support Intel and Apple Silicon. I have an
experimental build ready for macOS 11+. Any volunteers to give this a
try? There's no risk trying it out: it'll use your old preferences,
cache etc. And if it didn't work for you, you could simply re-install a
regular build to get back into stable land.

The next legacy is the preference pane. As I said it's targeted at OSX
10.5. In order to bring it up to speed some macOS dev skills and some
time would be required. Or more time with my limited dev skills. I was
wondering: would you miss it if we replaced it with a simple application
bundle. You'd then have to use the web UI to set paths, sign in to mysb
etc. rather than the pref pane. Would that be a loss?
