Re: [Issue 645] prebuilt RapidSVN 0.9.8 does not start on MacOS 10.5.6

I am CCing the response to the users list.

Well I think we do have several problems with the Mac OS/X build now:
1. our build host is a PPC using Mac OS/X 10.3
   (the 0.9.6 was built on this box as well so this might not be the
   major problem)
2. there are several issues with RapidSVN on Mac now, like slowness
    inverted file order, memory consumption

The major problem is there are no active developers for RapidSVN on Mac 
OS/X. I guess most of the problems arent that hard to track down but one 
needs time for it. So, unforunately, if no Mac OS/X developer takes on 
the task I dont see and end to these problems.

There will be RapidSVN nightly builds for Subversion 1.6 soon, beginning 
with the Windows nightly.
