10.6 Snow Leopard PowerPC Development

[barracuda156]

Both Gnutar and BSD tar should be on the system as both are from the same 10.6.8 tree. The incorrect symlink is a trivial fix. Well spotted.

P. S. Please add this to TODO for the next update (we have a TODO, right?).

Indeed. Been extremely busy of late but will check in again soon hopefully.

Just FYI, gsocket works fine with 10.6.8 and has no issues, apparently, with a lack of udp or using utdns.
It can do what tmate promised but did not deliver, being broken.

Basically you can connect any two machines, as long as both have some connection to internet and you have access to install the program. (I replaced the image with something better looking than a dark photo of the screen LOL.)
Works either way (from powerpc mac to any modern system and reverse), no special network setup.

By the way, this can be done from iPhone as well.

For the reference, correct `bsdtar` is present in 10.6.8 Combo update. What our image has as bsdtar is gnutar stripped of i386 and x86_64 slices.
