Why is it unavoidable that the Mac build will languish behind others? Are we supporting MacOs or aren't we? If we are, why isn't the creation of the build a part of the release process? Clearly it's not a priority given that nobody has seen fit to (or had time to) reply to this mail in three weeks. Maybe the PSF should make it a priority by funding acquisition of the appropriate proprietary hardware (Mac / Windows) for the release manager. Otherwise the avaialbility of binaries is going to lag source releases forever. Tres, can you be more explicit? How would such hardware help (whom specifically)?

I assumed that creation of installer binaries for a release depends on having the release manager or a lieutenant have access to the given platform (Windows, OS/X) and tools, For instance, the RM or lieutenant might only have access to such a platform part-time (e.g., only while at work, or only at home). In such a case, providing additional hardware could expedite creation of the binaries.

I'm sorry if I misunderstood the issue.
