Re: Roadblock MacOSX 10.4 for release of LilyPond 2.16

[Jean-Alexis Montignies]

Hi,

It looks from the trace that it's the UI that's not working. May be the command 
line tool is still working, and may be the command line tool built from Fink (a 
package manager on MacOS) is working as well. (MacPorts requires MacOS 10.6).
So there might be workarounds.

My opinion is that GUI has no extraordinary added value on Mac. Ending the 
support for 10.4 would be OK.
