Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: garthz (garthz) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: difficult uninstall for Mac OS X binary package Initial Comment: Despite the "developers release" tag I decided to take a quick look. It's a complicated package, and I didn't want to spend hours building, so I installed the 0.61.04 OS X binary package. It didn't work on either my Mac OS 10.3.9 or my 10.4.7 systems at all, which is fine, but I was dismayed to discover how difficult it will be to un-install; it scatters files all over /usr/local, and with file creation times from the packaging date, not the install date. Compared to Mac OS X and modern Linux distribution standards, this is quite unfriendly, and liable to cause future build problems, given how many of the files are varying versions of libraries which may already be installed for Darwinports or Fink. If you're going to offer a .mkpg, I really wish you would follow the conventional practice and either put all the libraries in the application bundle or in a separate folder in /opt or /usr/local. Alternatively, provide an uninstaller. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=757416&aid=1580058&group_id=144022 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
