First of all thanks a lot for the positive responses from William and
Michael that GRASS on OS X is not dying - this makes me feel much better.

Furthewr responses below in text.

That is good to know.

I upgraded and apart from GRASS and the bash variables which are not
passed on to new processes started via Finder (sorry - no reference for
this at hand) did not regret it - but as you say, your binaries are
quite important for the community.

Good to know.

I must say I am a homebrew user, and I compiled GRASS from source on El
Capitan. Following the steps described in earlier emails, I was able to
compile and install GRASS, although it still needs the source directory
where it is compiled to run (I guess this is what you are referring
above).

I am happy to try to compile it and try it out (although I am not using
GRASS directly, only from R). But I have python 2.7.11 from homebrew. I
have also python 3.5.1 installed via homebrew.

Let me know if I can help with compiling / testing as I would like to
have it running again in homebrew as well.

Cheers,

Rainer
