Ok. I'm sorry for adding to the pile of bs "please develop this" storm, but I'm 
tired
of the fricken emails. So. I unstarred this, but would like it and would 
appreciate
it if you idiots would NOT continue to put in your inane dribble about wanting 
it. As
it states here (http://www.peerblock.com/docs/faq#mac_port):

"If you're interested in a Mac port, you should "Star" that feature request.  
Not
only will it update you once we start to make progress on it, but when we're
prioritizing what to work on next we use the number of Stars an issue has as an
indication of how interested our user community is in something.  So consider 
it a
way for you to "vote" for that feature."

So just star the damn thing and stfu. Amusingly enough, I'm sure that that post 
was
how you got here in the first place! I'd be alright with these idiotic emails 
if it
was, "Yes, I'm a mac developer and want to work on it," cause at least that 
tells me
someone is moving in the right direction, but this, "I'd support you," and 
"Peerblock
please," crap is just damn annoying. 

Sorry for compounding the problem, but it really is dumb as hell.

I'd love a Mac version -- peerguardian 1.6b2 for Mac has so many bugs as to 
make it
unusable...  gave up on it after about 2 hours of using it.

1. I'm a developer. (good)
2. I have a Mac Book to develop on. (good)
3. I've never worked on a project like this, but might be willing to help.
4. Unfortunately, most of my experience is on Sun/AIX with a little bit of 
Windows
thrown in. The only Mac development experience is a cheesy app (for me only) I 
wrote
for my iPhone.

...but like all the others, I'd love to see a port for OS X. So, what can I do 
to help?

I thank you much for the support for the 64 bits.

I also do not make use badly of Mac OS X Snow Leopard, I would like to know if 
you
think of leaving one day a version PeerBlock for Mac OS X.

Cordially.

Bonjour,

J'utilise Peerblock avec Windows 7 (64 bits).

Je vous remercie beaucoup pour le support du 64 bits.

Je me sers aussi pas mal de Mac OS X Snow Leopard, je voudrais savoir si vous 
pensez
sortir un jour une version de PeerBlock pour Mac OS X.

Cordialement.

I'm really interested to a mac edition of peer block. Peer Guardian is an 
abandoned
project and still in beta (for snow leopard) since a long time and I think it 
don't
work how it should.

In the meantime, while you wait for this, you can use this work around for Peer 
Guardian:

2. I develop primarily for Unix and OS X (Yay!)

4. I am willing to help if I'm able :)

I use Peer Guardian 1.6beta on my Mac without a problem (currently blocking 2.5
million IPs). after you install, i recommend removing ALL the presets/lists and
replace them with whichever bluetack ones float your boat.

I use Windows/Mac, and Linux boxes. would be nice to have a universal app that 
worked
for both linux and mac.  Both are Unix based.  At any rate if any of you 
actually
want Peerblock for Mac you should use the DONATE button.

Yeah it would be great to have.. I'm sure many people would be happy to help 
code it..
I'm no programmer myself but I'm certainly sure there are others out there who 
would
help, and many of us would donate to help.

I'd help code it if I wasn't up to my neck in work and things, I've done some
programming, but I couldn't do it with my timeframe.. :-( But I'd really 
appreciate a

would love to have Mac version.

Since You are allready using PG2 sorce code, maybe You could use PG 1.6b2 
sources of a Mac client?
After some coding it will work for sure, and no need to start from scratch.

I use PeerGaurdian on my mac, but would LOVE a mac version of peerblock. I 
currently run 10.6.3, and tend to 
stay on top of every upgrade. I'd be more then happy to beta test when the time 
comes.
