So October's almost finished and I haven't blogged about anything...
It's Coming

He sed, she sed

Whilst creating universal packages for OS X I ran into a problem with the cyrus-sasl2 package. On this webpage lies the elusive answer to getting cyrus-sasl2 to create universal binaries: http://www.theronge.com/2006/04/15/how-to-compile-cyrus-sasl-as-universal/.

Point number 4 is where the magic is. I need to use sed to do that replacement. Instead of leaving you poor vassals to your fate Your Highness has decided to give you the chance, nay, the privilege to lend a hand. You will report how to do that substitution using sed. Your Highness demands that you do this as a display of fealty lest ye forfeit all claim to the universal binaries.

Am I not merciful!?

The 300 lb gorilla in the room: Amarok 2 installer for OS X

Rejoice ye unwashed heathen! A new installable package for Amarok 2 on OS X is available. It weighs in at about 300 MB but don't let the size allow you to ignore the obvious: there's now a new installable package for Amarok 2 on OS X. Do I sound like Steve Jobs yet?

The OS X savvy among you will immediately realize the absence of, and probably want, a .app bundle. Unfortunately the enterprising young lad who has slaved away on this for eons couldn't get it to work. You get the installer instead. Speaking of which, grab the Amarok_2X.dmg. As an extra special bonus you can try out some KDE programs too.

For those who don't already know these are developer packages. That means that you should only download these 300 MB of awesomeness if you are willing to test and give feedback. That means using http://bugs.kde.org to report what's broken. Obviously if you want to contribute beyond bug reporting that's welcome too I suppose we need a wiki page explaining how to do that ...

By the way, remember when I said these packages were for OS X. I lied. They're for a certain version of OS X on certain hardware. Leopard and Intel only. All others need not apply. Now if you'll excuse me I've got to boot into Tiger and fight with gcc 4.2. Cheers.

Here's one for the road!
