[Casper] PPC & Intel

[Ernst, Craig S.]

I haven't noticed any issues thus far. The only programs I've dealt with that I know I have to separate out are Audacity and Adobe Reader...at least that's all that comes to mind. Is there some system issues or some program in particular that you've had an issue with that leads you to state there is a difference in the JAVA components? It sounds like you've done some sort of file comparison already. It'd be interesting to know the details.

What is the consensus with the group regarding building installers for PPC and Intel Macs?

JAMF recommended we build everything (including the OS) from one master Intel box, and only use a PPC for builds when the software required it.

I am beginning to regret that decision, as I think there are differences in components that get installed from the OS installation regarding the two platforms.

In particular we have noticed differences in Java components installed when the Leopard install disk is run on a PPC vs Intel, so it appears that Leopard does not create a "universal" OS when installed on Intel.
