Well, the update feed has a way to tell the application architecture with inst:arch, so that <inst:arch>X86_64</inst:arch> for MacOSX will be the same as removing the whole MacOSX entry, because all previous MacOSX installations are x86; this will of course disable all notifications for MacOSX. Another alternative is to create a special page for MacOSX users and add it inst:update, so that user are not directed to the download page, but this special page explaining the situation, because > It is documented in the release notes but we all know no one reads them, the proof is https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119006 for the " Restore windows problem on Mac OS X" Another broken thing in MacOSX are C++ extensions, I have seen any mention of this in the release notes.
