The TeXDist INFO Preference Pane and The TeX Distribution Helper

The actual build number is __SVN_BUILD_NUMBER__, it is the version number. If the build number of the preference panel reads less than 11 (included), you should upgrade.

Download the TeXDist INFO Preference pane.

To ensure that no problem occurred, open Terminal.app, change the directory to where you downloaded the archive, then enter if [ "$(/usr/bin/openssl sha1 TeXDistPrefPane.bz2|grep "__SHA1__")" != "" ] then echo "SUCCESS" else echo "FAILURE" fi /usr/bin/openssl sha1 TeXDistPrefPane.bz2, you should read "SUCCESS".

Now you can double click to extract the contents of the archive. If you are an administrator, move the preference pane to /Library/PreferencePanes. If you are a standard user, move the preference pane to the /Library/PreferencePanes in your home directory. You can also double click the TeXDistPrefPane.prefPane file, it will launch the preference application and will ask you to install the pane for you. However, upgrading with this method sometimes does not work as expected.

You can safely remove the downloaded archives and the temporary files created during the bz2 expansion.
