I just got the OS X 10.9.5 update pushed from Apple. The Gatekeeper
default setting "App Store and identified developers" now blocks
Audacity in the DMG from being launched. I've not tested the zip.

This problem was expected because from 10.9.5 onwards Apple require
code signing to be done on Mavericks whereas Paul signs on an older
machine.

What I did not expect was that the trick we mention in Install.txt
(shipped with Audacity on Mac) to right-click Audacity > Open and Open
no longer works. On right-click > Open, Audacity is now reported to be
"damaged" and recommended to be sent to Trash. That only leaves one
option I know of which is to set Gatekeeper temporarily to allow apps
downloaded from "anywhere".

I am not sure if Buanzo can get 2.0.6 codesigned on Mavericks by an
acquaintance, but it may be an idea to update Install.txt to mention
opening Gatekeeper. Should I commit a change to Install.txt then wait
for the next Mac nightly before posting Mac rc1's to SF? Install.txt
is not currently translated, so it's just a packaging document.

The Manual already mentions the "Damaged" message in a FAQ about
Gatekeeper, so needs no change, though I've never seen that message
actually reported hitherto.
