Hi *,

in the meantime my new build finished successfully for all platforms, so I think we should test the newest one. Look here: http://www.eclipse.org/epp/download.php build 20090323-1714.

[If you already tested the last version... just tell me which one you tested.]

I am downloading the packages right now and will do some testing on them, but this can take ages because every package needs about 20 minutes to download over the wireless network here.

Regards, Markus

I had a discussion here about the mac packages. The outcome of this
discussion is: Most people do *not* want carbon.ppc any more and would
prefer macosx.cocoa.x86 for a package download.

What I did...
[1] I started a new build that builds macosx.cocoa.x86 instead of the
old macosx.carbon.ppc packages.
[2] I included a workaround for the missing linux-x86_64 CPP package

So, what's your thinking about this change in the mac packages? Dropping
the old one and using the macosx.cocoa.x86 packages only?

I think that is a fine choice. It has been a couple of years (I think) since Apple started focusing on Intel instead of PPC; frthermore, I'm pretty sure the SWT team is anxious to get the Cocoa implementation in front of people ASAP (it's been one of the most-requested features from users for a long time).
