Comment (by guest):
A couple more comments:
* Please don't use .pkgs such as used to be in the .dmgs. .pkg is a
macOS installer format package, but there is no standard way to remove
such packages! A package without a standard removal mechanism is horrible:
where is the upgrade path?
* Not entirely unrelated to this is the issue of distributing a binary
which has been compiled by ghc. This is similar because ghc itself is a
binary compiled with ghc... The problem I observe is that the binaries I
generate are dependent on finding a "macports-style" libgmp.so; because my
GHC is macports-installed. This means that another mac user, who doesn't
use macports, can't use my compiled binaries.
