OK, Christian.

A necessary clarification:
* I often release Tcl packages (aka libraries) as opensource projects.
* In case these packages (or full apps) contain some C/C++ code, I'm
used to deliver them as binary (precompiled) libs/apps.

So, my 'libs/apps"  are just a zip file with a bunch of .tcl plus
optionally some binary dll (*.dylib for MacOS)

I could even build all the MacOS scaffold and include a small tclkit
executable, so that it's a full ready-to-use app  (it doesn't require a
pre-installed tclsh/wish), but this is a rare case.  ( see
https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/PiX )


In any case, problems arise, because MacOS recognizes that it's not an
application signed by an affiliated Apple Developer...


I wonder if there's someone in this community, as an officialy
registered Apple Developer, someone who can take care to sign the
open-source libs/applications made by this community.
