Great, I think that will be a boon for Mac users. I just built a .dmg of j602 and it is quite lovely that it mounts as a file system and everything seems to work just fine. I will experiment some with dropping the j602 folder into Applications with the multi-user things in profile.ijs filled in and see if it looks like a normal application to multiple users. I will put the jsoftware folder into Documents for the user's temp etc. directories, without them J.app from the j602 folder dropped into system Applications doesn't run because it gets permission errors.
I'll fool with this some more, it looks like it should be easy to get it working. While it is very simple to just drag the folder j602 out of the mounted jsoftware.dmg file system to Applications, it is even more convenient to include an alias for the Applications folder - then the installation is simply to drag j602 into the other folder in the same mounted file system. All of this new stuff is a giant leap forward in ease of installation for Darwin and Linux. Again - Thanks! At 13:46 -0400 2007/10/02, Eric Iverson wrote:
I have been looking at Mac dmg and app and it is more straightforward than I thought. Right now my guess is that the next Mac beta will be packaged as an app in a dmg.
