Create a .dmg distribution for Mac OS X #13

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

Finally, the brave warriors at Prudence HQ have a Mac Mini (2007 model! running 
OS X Lion!) on which we can create .dmg files.

Let's see if we can integrate this into the Ant build scripts.

I've found a way to create a .dmg from Linux. Unfortunately, it would require 
1) root access at some point along the way, and 2) not be able to create 
compressed .dmg.

It seems an awful lot of trouble to support a .dmg directly, and the benefit 
seems to be slight: opening a zip on Mac is essentially identical to opening a 
.dmg. (Unless its a fancy-packaged dmg including an installer!)

I think it's best to delay this feature until we have a proper installer for 
Mac.

Prudence 2.0 will be installed via Sincerity, which in turn will be using a 
graphical installer based on BitRock's InstallBuilder.

This is not a .dmg, but is in fact an entirely standard way to install an 
application on Mac OS.

I suggest closing this issue as 'won't fix'.
