[Gdal-dev] Mac OS X installers Panther vs Tiger

[Jeroen Ticheler]

Hi William and others!
First of all, we really appreciate your work on providing binaries  
VERY much!! Being the source of the uproar :-( I feel I need to make  
a small note on the poll as it stands. I see that the majority would  
like to see Tiger only binaries. I would like to see a second poll,  
or feedback on who is running XServe with Panther or Tiger? Or are  
most of us running MapServer on desktop/laptop macs? We run the  
binaries on an XServe with Panther, and the last thing I would like  
to go through at this stage is to upgrade the OS to Tiger just  
because of this. The server runs smoothly ever since we have it and  
its a kind of a nightmare for me to have to upgrade or start  
compiling the stuff myself :-( (I run Tiger on my PowerBook).
I hope a Panther run/Tiger dev can be a reasonable compromise!?
Ciao,
Jeroen
