RUSH + SNOW LEOPARD
There will be a new maintenance release of Rush that addresses
Snow Leopard: Rush 102.42a9c, which will beta in about a week.
(Still doing internal testing)
It will have other things as well; watch this space for details.
* * *
Meanwhile, those of you running Rush 102.42a9b or older,
I've put together a 'fix script' for you which fixes your
existing Rush OSX installations to run on Snow Leopard:
http://www.seriss.com/rush/releases/patches/rush-snow-leopard-fix-scripts--for-102-42a9b-and-older.tar.gz
(Use your downloads login/password to install it.
If you forgot your downloads password, please contact me.)
See the README file for details.
It's very simple to use; just run the appropriate script as root,
and it will apply the fixes automagically. Can be run on older OSX
releases as well, so that you can then just copy the mac installs
to snow leopard machines.
You do /not/ need to stop the queue to run these scripts;
they can be run while renders are running and guis are open.
The fix script repairs these things:
o The rush/etc/bin/install.sh script
o The rush/etc/S99rush boot script (small cosmetic fixes.. nothing critical)
o The wrapper binaries in examples/Applications/submit-*.app/Contents/MacOS
which handle bringing up the submit scripts from the Finder.
This is somewhat important; it turns out these binaries were PPC
and I didn't know it. The fix installs universal bins for these,
since Snow Leopard no longer runs PPC binaries by default.
So if you're running any release of Rush 102.42a8 thru 102.42a9b,
this fix script should help you for running Rush on Snow Leopard.
These fixes will be in all Rush releases 102.42a9c and up,
so if you upgrade to that release, you won't need to run the fix script.
If you have any questions, let me know.
