This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com Using a binary is a bad idea, because it may tie your package to a specific OS version. (linker requirements, Frameworks, etc.) Surely if the binary is properly compiled using the Cross-Development SDK and GCC 3.3 there shouldn't be a problem? I use a binary tool that is called from my postflight script and it works fine back to 10.2, which is my minimum system version. I check the system version is at least 10.2 before calling the binary tool. The compatibility issues should be no different to those experienced with any app. smime.p7s
