Re: Time to drop PowerPC support from our Mac binaries?

Hey Fyodor,


Does anyone here use newer versions of Nmap on a PowerPC Mac?  Unless
I hear a strong argument for keeping it, we'll probably remove PowerPC
support in the next release.


I have an old PPC mac from 2003 which runs 10.4.  I often use it when
scanning Mac only networks.  I could switch over to using a dual boot Linux,
but always feel using the same OS as you are attacking makes sense.

As I am only called on to occasionally perform such a scan, I don't think it
would justify the purchase of a new Mac for a scan that takes place once or
twice a year.

Cheers,
Knightmare
