Re: state of OSX and M$ installer for Plone 5

Hi,

yes we have this working, -> Apple Script with tests and installing
XCode was at least with the latest version of OSX no problem the main
problem is more how to handle dependencies in a good way, you do not
want to tell people ti install homebrew or maports or nox or something else.
Also, depending on the dependency you can not install both next to each
other [homebrew and macports], which could lead to problems is the user
is using already one of them.

Further is it important that we get a working setup for the future,
Apple already changed the way how to install XCode in the past, also
from the current version on you do not want to use Apple Script, you
want to use Swift, which is doing things different and we have to
support different versions of OSX, and this can be a problem because the
older versions of Apple Script are also not always compatible :) .

So yeah, we determined that is not worth to do all that, I think we will
do much better with good docs, than people can decide by them self how
they want to install it on their machine and maintain/update [dependencies].

Cheers,

Sven
