Why is it again that we need separate dmgs for separate OS releases at all? Why don't we just have a single universal dmg, with the PowerPC part built with the 10.3.9 SDK and the Intel part built with the 10.4u SDK, and everyone's happy? Isn't that the whole point of universal binaries and those SDKs?
Frankly, that's how I'd like ports built too, when the +universal binary is selected. But that can be a separate topic for another day.
As +universal is not the default (a very good thing IMHO), why should we distribute the MacPorts base system as universal? I don't like these universal stuff at all, for most people it is occupying disk space for no actual use. Most people will use one MacPorts installation on one system - which is obviously one architecture. Rainer
