[MacRuby-devel] is hotcocoa dead ?

[Gary Weaver]

Enzo,

I've not used it in a few versions, but when I used to do "macrake 
deploy", it would copy all of the macruby framework, which at least used 
to be large, making the .app usually ~150MB. Isaac Kearse had a fix for 
that a while back, and possibly someone else has fixed it since.
