Hi Pavel,


to say, why I write this e-mail: it is simple, my iMac doesn't have too
much disk space... ;-)

creation of download installation sets can be avoided by removing the "downloadname" in instsetoo_native/util/openoffice.lst for the OpenOffice product.


In modules instsetoo_native, we generate download sets also on MacOS
X. Right now, we do not have implemented any special handling of them on
MacOS X, thus we get *extralarge* shell scripts. This is nonsense on MacOS
X.

On the other hand, makefile.mk in instsetoo_native/util have this code:

.IF "$(OS)" == "MACOSX"
+/bin/sh $(SOLARENV)$/unxmacxp$/bin$/create-package.sh $(subst,$(@:s/_/ /:1)_, $(@:b)) "`pwd`$/$(OUT)$/OpenOffice$/install" $(SOLARBINDIR) .ENDIF

just after running make_installer.pl.

So I think we should extend make_installer.pl to create download sets *with
this command*, thus effectively download sets on MacOS X will be in their
native format, .dmg.

What do you think?

If you do not think, that there will be a requirement for "real" download sets, we can use this mechanism as a kind of "post packing process". We also have to take care of language packs, for which currently no download sets are created. If I look into "download.pm" there are currently two processes: One for Windows and one for Non-Windows. I think it would be easy to include a third option for MacOS in which "create-package.sh" is called.
