Another thing I forgot to say: I don't currently have a Panther machine I can use, so I don't see it as likely that I'll be building a dmg for OS (and, for that matter, I don't have a Tiger one at the moment either, but I'm more than sure that'll be much simpler to come by).
So if anyone has a Panther box, has an interest for a dmg for that platform and feels like lending a hand, please do coordinate with me to put together that dmg. Chris, you still have your Panther box?
If we don't come by one I'll simply remove mention of it from the new website and will tell stragglers that we simply don't have the resources to produce it.
Is there any reason not to simply state that Panther users need to download the 1.5.2 disk image and install from that and ensure that selfupdate is run (if it isn't already run during the install from the disk image)?
That's certainly an alternative, sure. If we don't get anyone to produce a Panther dmg for 1.6.0 we could definitely go that way. Thanks for the suggestion.
Also is there any reason not to use our sourceforge site as the download source?
Sorry, didn't remember we had a presence there ;-) How would we go about using it? We would still get our release products up on our own site & repository, but if we can also leverage the sourceforge distribution engine, then by all means! Can you please coordinate that? Regards,... -jmpp
