[Bf-committers] Rename 'darwin' to OSX-Intel or OSX-i386?

[Erwin Coumans]

Manually renaming before uploading is fine with me. Someone already did it 
here:
http://download.blender.org/release/Blender2.43rc/

blender-2.43RC1-OSX-10.4-i386-bz.dmg
blender-2.43RC1-OSX-10.3-py23-powerpc.zip

This is much more clear and more consistent to the powerpc version.
Thanks,
Erwin

hmm.

the consequences in build systems are quite dire and the benefits are
little.

the naming comes from the uname results which are used by both scons
and make (dont know for cmake), so it is imho a bit dangerous.

Now changing only  the zip name used for release can be done if
agreed, that is minor, as long as we are logical with PPC builds.
