[GoogleCodeExporter]

Would like to see a Macintosh Port of PeerBlock.

Currently running 10.6 Snow Leopard.

Thanks!

We really do need a better working peerguardian2/peerblock. The version 
available for
mac is incredibly buggy and just barely works on osx 10.6. It's a shame too, 
since
the gui and how it works is great on windows. It would be even sexier on the 
mac. I
don't get why you guys don't just develop a cross platform package for this. 
Every OS
could  benefit from this relatively user friendly ip blocker. Windows does not 
have
monopoly on the OS market anymore either.

Cross platform, Open Source and free (donations encouraged), is the trend. Get 
with
it! =).

This is still a ways off, as per Comment #21.  We're slowly working towards it, 
but
have a LOT of work to do in the base code before we'll be ready to start 
working on a
Mac version.

Please remember that your comments will trigger emails to the over 300 people 
who've
Starred this issue.  You can Star it without adding a comment, and if you are
Starring it remember that you'll quickly get annoyed with all the "+1 me too" 
type
emails yourself!  So if you have something meaningful to add (like the fact that
you're a developer who'd be interested in working with us on an eventual Mac 
port, or
that you have an older Mac lying around that you'd be willing to donate to us) 
that's
great, definitely post a comment.  Otherwise, Starring the issue should be 
sufficient.

Thanks!  =;)

Believe me, we fully understand that a great many people are interested in a Mac
version.  And we'd love to be able to start working on it.  We're just not quite
there yet, still.

@peerblockproject:  Agreed!

:)  Sorry, 300+ people, I just had to.  You understand, right?

The mac book pro (15' laptop) that I am using is yours once I finish my co-op 
and
purchase a new computer for myself. The monitor is broken clean off and thus I 
rely
on the DVI output connection. Will need a display or simply use VNC to work on 
it
headless. It's a real shame macs do not support wake on lan powered off =/. Dvd 
slot
is not reliable either for reading/burning cd/dvds.

It should be good enough for developing purposes however. Eventually I'll need a
mailing address to ship it to. For now I need it to complete a graphic
design/photography internship for the next 11 weeks or so, and you already 
mentioned
that it would not be awhile before the OS specific code is completely moved 
away from
the more OS independent code, so it works out conveniently. Keep up the good 
work!

This should definitely happen!

Insulting us will not get a Mac version implemented any quicker.

The problem is that the code for our entire program is extremely 
Windows-specific right now.  Not only will the user-mode portion of the code 
need to be rewritten, but a new UI will need to be written, and a new driver 
will need to be written.

I'm deleting your comment.  Please keep discussions civil.
