Mac Calibration issue with 3.5.2

Hi Hy,

I am not sure, but I can always try.  I will have to see if craft can build a specific commit.  I know how to get craft to build a version number and the latest version from GIT, since I have done that before with different craft recipes.  But as for a specific commit from GIT, that is new territory.  I will check it out to see.

Another issue with making many DMG’s is file space.  Each one of these DMGs would be a little under 200 MB.  Would we want to put them on indilib.org?  Does it have the space?

Thanks,

Rob

I looked briefly through the commits, but saw nothing that should have changed guiding, from the descriptions.  But of course, something else could have been done in a commit.  I was certainly able to help him get set up to test to see if the issue existed in 3.5.1, so I helped, but I don’t know what could have caused this and haven’t had lots of time, so I was very happy to see your debugging progress.

If he doesn’t want to set up a development environment or test on Linux, then we would need to build him a full DMG every time we would want him to test something.  This is certainly doable, but it could take awhile.
