I'm a student working part-time on a filesystems project and was just given an outline of the project requirements to start off. I enrolled myself as part of the student-dev and darwin-development mailing lists but the topics discussed there are not really relevant to my requirements... besides I end up getting more than a 100 mails from these which I can't really use purposefully.
I'm glad that people have slowly started responding on this list and that a healthy discussion of issues seems to have begun.... as compared to the other apple mailing-lists I had begun to assume that this list was pretty much in hibernation :)
May be my assumption is a bit naive, but especially for writing CDs
for
Macs on non-Mac platforms, creating a Rock Ridge/Joliet CD is much
easier
than an HFS or HFS hybrid CD ...
I'm not too sure but do older Macs support Roc Ridge/Joliet too? I'm sure there aren't too many people using older Macs but maybe this has to to do with making things easier for them (?)
P.S. does anyone else that posts to this list get a reply from "abuse@microsoft.com" ...
Aargh!...don't tell me they're mailing you too!....I don't intend to contact Microsoft (by no means!) but their mails always begin with a 'Thank you for contacting Microsoft...." ...maybe they don't know they're part of this list ? Besides if they're offering constructive suggestions we should be hearing from 'support' not 'abuse' I think. I wrote to them about this once and it doesn't seem to have made any difference.
