As you are the one who gives his time to the Mac builds currently, it is fully ok to say: No, we will not support old Mac OS versions on old PPC hardware. Esp. if you cannot test the build, I guess it does not make much sense giving time and effort for this backporting project.
My 2¢, Mike
Seconded. I'm not sure if recent (10.6, 10.7) OS X versions are
available for PPC, if they are, I guess we should support them, but
as I already wrote in my poll, 10.5 is not receiving security
updates any more, so the same goes for 10.4. We should not waste
time supporting seriously outdated versions. Same goes for Windows:
I haven't tried if the Windows X2Go Client runs on Windows 95, 98,
Millenium, NT 3.something, NT 4 or W2K. Maybe it does, but I
wouldn't rush to help anyone if it doesn't.We should limit our support to operating systems still supported by
their manufacturer/distributor.Unless, of course, somebody proves me wrong by showing that a large
part of our userbase is running on such manufacturer-unsupported
operating systems.
Agreed! Another approach is: contract one of the developers to support
old operating systems.
Mike
