Is there any reason 10.5 server addition would not work for building release ? Friedrich, you can't just install 10.5 (non server) on vmware. I just tried, It responds This is not a server addition. There are hacks but... I'll try to do a few testes this week., Where does "numpy-macosx-installer " http://github.com/cournape/numpy-macosx-installer fit in to running this command. "paver dmg -p 2.5" or does it? I have installed from source many times but never built a dmg. Is there any interest in a current Dev snapshot dmg? And how about a numpy scipy combo dmg? A little bit of a separate issue, does the build bot or so,ething/one other than developers run numpy.test() to monitor test that may fail on different systems, as numpy scipy, python get updated. It seems like a bot could build everything from source weekly and commit a test log via git/github to monitor and record the condition and changes in tests. Maybe there is no point to this, just sound like a neat way to track test results.
