I am writing from New Zealand (NZ). I am about to upgrade to 10.3+
(yes, I know I'm late...!) and wanted to ensure I had access to Xcode
Tools 1.1 prior to doing this. The local supplier says they don't
deal with it, Apple NZ does. Apple NZ passes the buck on even further
and claims this can only be obtained from the Apple Developer
website. Hoever there appears to be no way of getting the CD without
a paid membership to ADC. I was under the impression that Apple (at
one point) offered a physical CD of this update to those for whom
downloading 600+Mb from not realistic. So...
1. Can someone point me to a source of Xcode Tools 1.1 as a CD?
2. In people's view, is the (partial) updater fine, or are there
pretty important things lurking the full CD update? (I apologise if
this question is a rehash of earlier posts but annoyingly I can't
relocate the relelvant posts in my mail archives and my memory is too
fuzzy to trust.)
3. Why doesn't Apple push large updates like this to its regional
suppliers/distributors, so that if other means are not practical, the
suppliers, etc., can offer their clients a copy at nominal cost?
4. Note that this has altered the meaning of ADC to people in my
position. I was under the distinct impression that paid ADC
subscriptions were for the support that they provided and that the
development software was supposed to be free. Now it appears that
there is no way to obtain XCode 1.1 "for free" -- ? It'd cost me
$US500 as far as I can see. Do correct me if I'm wrong.
