Gcc & gdb are gone -- replaced by llvm. I believe that CUPS is also gone, but I may be wrong. And if another commenter on this thread is correct (I have not yet checked the Mountain Lion Server image that I have), then Mailman is also gone. And I can most definitely confirm that Apple is actively eliminating any use of GPL-based technologies or tools within the company. They even eliminated X out-of-the-box, although you can still download it from an alternative site. Of course, you could claim that was a disk space issue, but then they're no longer shipping the OS on physical media. -- Brad Knowles <b...@shub-internet.org> LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
