Those percentages are not random. I would wager that many, perhaps a majority, of the machines running 10.5 are
never going to get new software products added. Chances are most of them
can't upgrade to 10.6 because they are too old; do you really want to support old PPC hardware?
No, I don’t support any PPC hardware. I only supported Dual-Core Intel 64-bit machines on Leopard. This had to do with the release of certain Java updates
at the time. Only the 64-bit Intel machines were bumped to a version of Java that the GUI could run on, as near as I could tell, and I was not able to acquire any PPC hardware to work with either. It’s been so long now, but I think I did notice one of my
Leopard machines later appeared to have Java updated enough to run the GUI on a 32-bit Intel, but it was too late, the daemon was only compiled for 64 bit machine. I think now I could go back and add support for 32-bit Intel Leopard machines, but I don’t
have the schedule or testing resources to do it right at the moment.
So is it worth it to carry forward support for 64-bit Intel Dual Core Leopard machines.. ? I suppose I might not even be able to if our Java developer bumps
the required Java version enough.
