Do we want to hardcode the names to "LyX" instead of PACKAGE? That's possible, but it remove the possibility to run two different versions (say 1.3 and 1.4) of LyX concurrently. The code to modify is at line 611 of src/support/package.C. How do you run 1.3.x and 1.4.0 side-by-side, by the way?
I wouldn't want to lose the ability to run them side-by-side. (I do that now with "--with-version-suffix".) It's probably not important enough to bother figuring out a fix.
Since we did that for Windows, I propose that you send an updated version of your LyX.app skeleton and that we update README.OSX to explain how to use that.bhelm> Yes.

I was wondering about adding the skeleton in cvs under development/MacOSX, like we have development/Win32/packaging/. The idea would be to have everything (including the setup script) there. Tell me what you think.
Yes, please. I'm attaching the LyX-installer.command shell script to this e-mail. I'd appreciate if people would look it over and modify it: it's likely very crude, but I think it does want is needed.
The lyx skeleton I'll send by separate e-mail, since it's a bit large. Bennett
