Really wish you-all would make the whole developer pkgs ready before releasing a massive update like 10.4.9 is.
You would really hold up a release like this until the open-source bits were ready? Somehow, I don't think you quite comprehend the reality of the situation.
Yes but why not releasing the source to the people who just received the released binary? Thats what usual open source licenses ask you to do.
The source won't change after the binary is released that so it should be on the server right away.
I have this problem with 10.5. Our driver doesn't run under 10.5 anymore. But because the source is not available yet, I can't even prepare for 10.5 to fix the issue. So we can start fixing only after 10.5 is out and only a few month later (if we are lucky) the source of it will be made available while all the customers will rush and go and buy 10.5 and install it and then realize it failed where its a pain to move back.
This happened to us before and its a big pain! Give me a good reason why the source should not be released at the day of the binary is released. This includes betas by the way (with the requirement that the source is only available to the people who get the binary of course).
