Hi,
I'm Arjan Molenaar, maintainer of the Gaphor (http://gaphor.sourceforge.net), a GTK+ based UML modeling tool.
I'm getting several requests for an easy to install package (.dmg) for OS X.
Are you asking for help with packaging Inkscape? Or a .dmg for Inkscape? Or some sort of template for packaging your own product?
Oh, I'm sorry. I ment a template for packaging my own product.
I agree that the packaging script for Inkscape is not easy to understand, and I will be submitting some improvements over the next couple of months. You should be able to download a recent version of Inkscape from this site (the very latest is Tiger only, but this is not intended to be a permanent state of affairs).
I have looked at Gaphor in the past, wanting a Mac OS X UML tool, but I don't seem to have a copy at the moment. I'll wander over and take a closer look at your project.
There is a Compiling for Mac OS X page on our Wiki which has a section on packaging, and some links. This page also needs a certain amount of work, but you may find the links helpful. Also, it seems possible to me that the GIMP Shop folk have a better package than we do, and you might want to study their methods.
I'll give it a try with the Wiki documents (although I only use Darwinports and not Fink I think that's no problem).
Thanks so far.
Regards,
Arjan
