There is no need of immediate fix as I still manage to build it with current hardware but I don't know for how long. > I don't know what is involved in building the app for Mac, how it fits in > terms of the release process and I have only been here 2 minutes.

It might be a simple way for someone to contribute too. Managing correctly such build is not a simple task. The update often fails because it is not the most tested platform. Also we must have a reproducible way for the build and I don't see how it can be correctly done if the user and the machine always changes. Tryton must provide a reliable build or no build but the worst will be a unreliable build. So if we have no choice than rely on someone, this person should provide a long term commitment for many years to build the client on the lower supported version (which means no hype upgrade for many years). But this is really the least solution having to rely on the daily used laptop of a developer. Also the Foundation has in his goal to provide the infrastructure for the project. It was already going in this direction when it buys the testing server (which will also be used in the future to compile the Windows client with a fresh new Windows license). But the money of the Foundation is currently very low, just enough to keep paying the hosting for 2 years, so it can not buy a Macmini in the current situation expect if we raise enough money for that. -- Cédric Krier - B2CK SPRL Email/Jabber: [email protected] Tel: +32 472 54 46 59 Website: http://www.b2ck.com/
