I certainly hope we see a source release soon.
One can hope for almost everything, but I'm quite sure you won't see sources. Apple is back to the closed source model it had in the MacOS (1-9) days.
Every piece of source they publish will make the life of the Mac-OS-X- on-generic-hardware hackers easier. Instead of providing these sources, Apple implemented noticeable steps in the opposite direction.
And you know, after 15 years of staying away from the Mac (I was a *big time* macos developer "back in the day"), I was just about to go back to it in a serious way. I *had* been doing a log to work on macosx and enjoying it. but now, given this, I plan to spend my time working on 64 bit linux. life is too short to waste my time working on locked up operating systems. -brad _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
