I just did some modification to the Mac installer and I think now it could be ready for a first version.
Here is the repo: http://github.com/calavera/jruby-mac-installer Basically, now it creates this directories structure when the package is installed: /Library/Frameworks | | -> JRuby.framework | | -> Versions | | -> Current | | -> VERSION_NUMBER ... where "Current" is a symlink to the latest version installed and it can be easily modified by the user. After the creation of the directories the installer modifies the user's .bash_profile file to add the Current path to the user's PATH. I grabbed the script to do this from python's mac installer so we should check the license compatibilities and mention them as authors. So, if anyone wanted to build the installer he has to run the script "build.sh" and pass the jruby's source directory and its version as parameters, i.e: ./build.sh dev/jruby 1.5.0.dev it calls ant to create the distribution, installs the native launcher, and creates the dmg file. I've created one package for test that you can download from http://thinkincode.net/JRuby-1.5.0.dev.dmg. It's build with snow loepard so jruby is compiled with java 6 since ant delegates to the javac.version number. I think by the moment, and since it will be official any issue that you find could be added to the github's tracker.
