Re: macos rc3

 

Thanks!  I have put a lot of work into this, but I don't want to
neglect to mention that I am building on bernard's work, and
metacollin's, and nick has been building and submitting issues for
months and months and months.

I'm not sure, honestly.  Either github or launchpad. If launchpad,
make sure to tag it osx.  I have a filter set up to see those.
