New Glad
to hear it; are those images required for software installation, though? And do they take into account dependencies?

Sounds like ease of use approaches that of Debian, though, if the disk image packaging format is used.

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
 
 
New Disk images are easiest
You put your app in a folder - hilight the folder and select "Make disk image" from the File menu. A .dmg file is created. Ship it.

Are the images necessary. No, of course not. They just make it more fun.

I don't get the dependency obsession - OS X comes with rich api. If you depend on something not in the api, put it in your app wrapper so it drags with your app.

Apps should be self contained. Duh.
