Re: [Cs-studio-users] CSS on the Mac

[Carcassi, G. <car...@bn...>]

Hi Sven:

Mac build/Java 7 support is broken. There are fix/workarounds. I don't think these were implemented in the standard build, so not all sites have support for it. Kay cares more about the Mac build, so maybe the SNS version works. I'd try that.

Yep. A single distribution, that each site can configure, ... We have been pushing in that direction for 3 years now, with the (meager) results you see. The problem is that is much harder to make a single distribution now that each site has their own. Each contributing site has a choice: work on a common distribution while they already have their own, or work on missing features they care. Not to count the problem of coordination: in principle there should already be a "basic common" product, but I don't even see it in the download list.
