[Pharo-project] Reminder: change the archiving tool
All .zip files with pharo images having an annoying Apple-ism - a .DS_Store garbage file. Please use a zip archiver which includes only relevant files to archive, because obviously this garbage has no use anywhere but Macs.
Last time I mentioned this (as windows user) I was told (by Adrian or Stef?) they are usefull/required for Mac users and it is easy for others platform users to throw them away So maybe we should first check with the mac users around here before changing the one click distro Bye T. -- Empfehlen Sie GMX DSL Ihren Freunden und Bekannten und wir belohnen Sie mit bis zu 50,- Euro! https://freundschaftswerbung.gmx.de

not me :) I agree, we should avoid shipping with this garbage... I assume that with the automated builds from Hudson the problem will go away. Adrian

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.DS_Store These are not really needed. They make archives ugly for users on other systems, best to clean them unless there is a good reason to keep them. Sven
