So, why don't you use that instead of creating a completely new script?

I've looked at this. But what we have assumes that there is already a
zip file present, fetches the zip and from that generates the an
installer. My understanding is that the intent is to build the installer
directly form the source on guthub. If my understanding is correct, then
it either requires me to get the source and build it myself or have the
the auto tester do the building and subsequently generating the
installer. As I understand it, the second option is the desired desired
state.

If my understanding is incorrect. I would appreciate clarification.

Yes, it would be preferred if it was built from source. But the solution
is not to start from scratch and create a completely new script. As I
said, use what we already have. If that's not working as we want it to,
then we change it to do that.

To be honest, I started with the existing script. I would have loved to simply download and execute it and everything worked but it did not. It required more than an standard install of MAC OS X and the command line tools. Since I didn't have the full version of XCode or the particular products prompted for, I chose the route that required less preparatory work by the potential user. I do understand the necessity to build upon what already exists and, trust me, that's what I wanted to do.

You're missing several things when building the installer.

Would have been great if you pointed them out but I completely understand.

BTW, if you're able to figure out how to build the Mac OS X installer on
Linux Walter would appreciate it. I failed to do that.


Will give it a shot. Thanks.
