conda constructor seems to support .pkg installations, so this is probably mostly fiddling with the build scripts?
The hard part is signing those. Otherwise they come with big warnings about not being signed right?
Remember playing with this once, but seem to recall there will limitations about where the .pkg
installers could install files. Is that still the case? Or am I misremembering?
My hope is that given miniconda has them, miniforge / mambaforge could too!
I can see signing being the problem though.
I think we have all the elements to start prototyping a PKG installer with signing. I'll open a PR soon.
Gentle bump to this, as it would have some real value especially if they could be accessed from the lovely https://conda-forge.org page Explaining the current install process is a bit tricky for people just getting their feet wet with command line, etc.
Feedback welcome in #434 :)
miniconda provides .pkg installers (https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html#macos-installers) that provide a more GUI method of installation. I think miniforge / mambaforge should generate these too! Would make for a better onboarding experience for some subset of users.
