[Bf-committers] Fwd: Preparing Blender for GateKeeper

[trouble daemon]

tbh, this sounds like its just chroot + signed applications + apple

see it being that big of a deal. It's pretty much similar to what you
would get from a debian or ubuntu repo, just in a slightly different
and prettier presentation :)
