Re: [epp-dev] bug 468598 - Mac OSX only - Mars RCx packages are reported to be damaged
Update:

The packages except the Mac OSX versions have been published, the whole p2 EPP p2 repository is available, too.

In the meantime I was able to prepare a little patch based on the ideas from David, Gunnar, and Mikael, and I hope that this change fixes this (and another) problem. Now I need someone who tests and verifies the change before I push it to master. The details can be found here...
If someone can confirm that the issue has been fixed in those packages, I'd push it to master, build new RC2 packages, and would add them on Monday to the RC2 download page.

Thanks,
Markus

Makes *a lot* sense to me.

This would include the release of the complete EPP p2 RC2 repository so everyone has a chance to update, independent from the operating system version, and the installer could use this data to provide for the required RC2 testing.
