Well .. a valid answer for OpenSource develoopers to the question "why do you this and that" is "Because I can!" ;) for the current issue, thare are some positive points, that we have double builds for Mac (these are the same as having double builds for Windows / Linux): - Sun is not providing PPC builds - we have to use Maho's builds for PPC. In case, we find a defect, it is easier to proofe, if the defect is in PPC-port or in Maho's build environment, as we now can compare two different processor architectures from one build provider. - if we find problems in Sun's builds, we can easily test if these are source issues or if these were introduced by the build environment (we had this sometimes for Linux / windows - comparing Sun's and Pavel's builds was sometimes very helpfull) - we do not only release binaries, we release the source also. Mahos builds verify, that the source works correctly on a vanilla build environment. - Sun does not provide builds for all localizations - so some native lang teams need to use Maho's buiilds. Enough reasons? ;) André -- GMX Kostenlose Spiele: Einfach online spielen und Spaß haben mit Pastry Passion! http://games.entertainment.gmx.net/de/entertainment/games/free/puzzle/6169196 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
