Can anybody tell me why Apple has chosen to now allow update of XCode
1.2 via Software Update?
The last time they did that (with Xcode 1.1), they made it so that
different people had different variations on the developer tools
installed, and this made a lot of people in collaborative groups
angry. The software update didn't include the 10.2.8 SDK and Interface
Builder 2.4.1, among other things. The xcode-users mailing list was
full of posts complaining about this decision. When the software
update was discontinued, the complaints stopped.
You'll find it's also full of complaints about XCode bugs... maybe they
should just stop distributing it entirely - that would solve their
problems even moreso!
:P
More on topic though, while I can accept not having updates through
Software Update (especially given they would then appear to anyone who
happens to have the Developer Tools installed, even if they have no
idea; the computer just came that way), I still don't understand the
point of the bazillion-segment approach in the most recent XCode
update... that drove me insane downloading and then reconstructing
that... why is there not just a single large download? Since I
downloaded it on dialup, don't give me any crud about it being better
in segments... find me a FTP client from the last decade which can't
resume downloads...
