I think the key component that we're missing is provided by:
http://sveinbjorn.vefsyn.is/platypus
The platypus application wrapper, which makes Unix stuff easier to use in OS X. I'm curious if we can't use the relocatable binary feature with this to make a standard 'Inkscape.app' which would be totally relocatable. I'm not sure how they do it here:
http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/
But that is really what we want. I wonder if we could get the people doing that SF project to do a inkscape-app project also?

I asked a friend of mine about OSX packaging...
I think we have a patch for a dmg, but I don't know what it means. :)

Hey, I want to try and get inkscape (inkscape.org) packaged for OSX. I assume this is only possible via "fink", but I don't know where to begin. How do I make an OSX package? :)
There are two ways, really (maybe three):
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/AppleSWDesign/Fir...
- True Mac OS X way: drag and drop the .app from a .dmg file to your
Application folder (or whereever else you want it) 2) More complicated OS X Way: Installer.app package. see Package Maker.app 3) UNIX way: fink. basically just a debian apt package.

If you want to target OS X users I would say 1 is the way to go. Otherwise 3. What are your dependencies?
