Hi,
(I hope I did not double-post, but somehow my mail from yesterday was
eaten by filter-gnomes)
It's not about being willing to, but plain lack of time.
I follow this list closely and work on solutions as time permits.
After half a year, it's been four weeks now that I am able again to
build and test on a regular base again.
There are other components on OS X that need some love, like the
winehelper.app into which I'm looking atm.
License and renaming is definitely on the list.
I thought to revamp the package, once the winehelper is replaced, to
not double do the work.
As already mentioned, I build the dependencies and store them inside
the apple .app package, which allows for drag'n'drop installation and
removal.
Having the dependencies as frameworks would be even better, as there
is a lot of trouble with PATHS, especially if multiple environments
are on the system, like fink and macports.
But if the name-change is the most pressing issue, I will gladly do
that with this weekends release.
