Not me. I don't have any machine that needs universal binaries, I have only ppcs and intels. As a user, I don't want to spend twice the compilation time for every package and use twice the disk space for the executables and libraries. In my opinion, universal binaries are an invention for distributors of precompiled binaries, not for users. As for the distribution of precompiled binaries, Fink has, in principle, the tools for providing the same (or more, because of smaller downloads) comfort as what is achieved by universal binaries, namely separate binaries for ppc and intel, with automagic choice of the right architecture at download time. The only problem is that there is no central Fink bindist any more... -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
