OS X downgrade....

Unsure of the cause, but OS X 10.7.4 has been a wash. Not only is MainStage horribly broken under it, so is QuickTime (and it seems anything else that uses the QuickTime libraries, for that matter), along with the screensaver engine. Due to this, a) I've downgraded to 10.7.3 and b) trying to find a way to block the update for now until I can confirm that the issues I saw are resolved. Apple dropped the ball on this one, in my opinion.....

Status as of May 13, 2012

Real life kicked in and side tracked me a couple days (along with having to reinstall my iMac to fix broken beta updates from Apple....) All that done, I got the VM instance of the build server running again, and have written a couple scripts to simplify some mundane tasks needed for builds.

As my boss hasn't cleared a maintenance to occur at work, I'll be able to spend a bit of time this weekend getting closer to the point of being able to have all of the "core" OS build dependencies finished before building RPM and then rebuilding everything again, but this time as packages. This will also help determine whether some of the tools are fully self-hosting.

I'll update with more info as I continue.
