RE: [Inkscape-devel] [Fwd: Re: Inkscape 0.37 Released! Try it out!]
From: "Jonathan Phillips" I think we really need to get OS X DMG files, or an installer for OS X releases. The majority of OS X folks do not understand ./configure;make;make install.
I agree. This would be good.
Of course, who now will be able to do it? :-)
According to the Wiki http://www.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?MacOSXPort There is at least one person with a build machine available.
I don't quite have the time to commit to it (due to all the other todo's on my list), but I would be able to test such a DMG whenever a build is done.
Jon, maybe you should catch MrDocs on Jabber.
Yeah, I will discuss it with him. Is DMG just a packaging format, or can it also include an installer? I don't know that much about new mac formats.

.dmg is just a raw disk image, normally containing a filesystem with the program and some installer bits.
The simple ones, the only contents of the filesystem are the program itself (as an .app directory) and a README file. I think that would be a reasonable approach to take for ours.
