Bordeaux 1.8 is now running on current Mac OS X Leopard systems. We have been working hard over the past month to get Bordeaux running on Mac OS X and all that hard work is starting to pay off. We now have everything compiling and running but like always more testing needs to be done before it's ready for final release. The installer, Bordeaux programs, built-in Wine programs, bordeaux-winetricks, and a couple small test applications have been tested. The good news is everything that's been tested works very well and everything thus far tested has been stable.

Starting with the Mac OS X release of Bordeaux we are going to start bundling our own version of Wine. While this is allot more work, it will allow us to include some much sought after features that have been missing from vanilla Wine builds. For example the (always in the work's) DIB engine will be one of these new features. And with bundling Wine we can also Bundle in some other needed tools such as cabextract and unzip to make the use of Bordeaux and Wine as user friendly as possible.

Or are you running into the Great Firewall of China?

twickline, don't worry about it. It's not the end of the world.

The website that I moderate for is just about ready to do the same thing, to avoid being hacked and spammed ( by mainly chineese ) Personally, I get spammed there via PM ( private message ).

I don't think so, as I live in Thailand . If I run into the " great Thai firewall" , I get a green notice

easylinuxcds, and their new( or other ) site does the same .

Well, I have tried it now about 12 times.

Connecting to bordeauxgroups.com... and then after x minutes, a time out. I am sure it's a firewall

EDIT: sorry, this belongs in the other tread
