Re: [Wrapper-user] PPC Linkage in Java Service Wrapper?

[Maxime <ma...@ta...>]

William,

Sorry for the late reply.

Actually we already planned to no longer build the Wrapper for the PPC
architecture on macosx as Apple dropped its support since OS X 10.5. We
however want to make this change in our next major release (version 4.0).
Its release date has not been fixed yet, but it should be out in a few
months...
We rather want to avoid making this change in a minor release as there may
still be some users who expect support for this old architecture.

Best Regards,

Maxime
