Bill actually completed possibly the first ever full run of MPAB a while ago. Admittedly it was on 10.6, but that was actually harder than doing it on an earlier OS (because of "interesting" chroot issues previously mentioned on this list), and I don't think it would be too hard to rustle up a 10.4/ppc box. We're basically waiting for MPWA to be up and running to give us a platform on which to actually report the results, which was itself blocked on some internal macosforge matters last I heard. This will hopefully go a long way towards letting users know where they stand once it's complete. - Josh _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
