How's using homebrew any of this different than being able to run "base64" and "uuidgen" on Windows? It's not like either of those applications are part of a Windows installation anyway.
- AaronFriel 7y agoThat's my point. Why can't Apple ship an updated userland built in, through the Store, or as a download triggered by a command line (like XCode is).
- oneplane 7y agoBecause GPL v3 says you have to run modified binaries and that means Apple has to give its private keys.
- saagarjha 7y agoNo? You just resign the binary with your key.
- patates 7y agoI'm sorry, this is totally off-topic but I had to re-read your comment 5 times until it became apparent that you meant re-sign, not surrender. English is funny sometimes (especially when you're not a native speaker like me:) ).
- saagarjha 7y agoIt's a good point; I'll keep it in mind when using the word in the future :)
- oneplane 7y agoYou can't if the binary is a SIP-protected binary, and you can't use all signing features unless you disable SIP (for certain entitlements AFAIK)
- AaronFriel 7y agoWhy do they have to run modified binaries?
- adrianN 7y agoBecause that's one of the rights users of GPLv3 software have.
