Re: [Gretl-users] Strange Behaviour Updating Gretl on Mac OS/X

Recently I noticed that the Gretl updating procedure is a lit bit
different.
In the past, all I needed was to drag the file Gretl.app (inside the
gretl-intel.dmg file) to my Applications folder. Now I need firstly to
delete the older version and then copy the new one to Applications folder.
Now, if I try to update in the old way Mac OS/X tells me the file is blocked
and I have no permission to overwrite Gretl.app (I'm the only administrator
of my machine).
Is this an expected behaviour?
Well, it's what OS X now seems to do (at least part of the time).
The gretl installer hasn't changed; the behavior of OS X has. If
you can figure out how exactly OS X has changed in this respect
(e.g. via google) perhaps we can find a workaround.
