That's my thinking too. I'm not familiar enough with the OS X
development toolset though to know how hard or otherwise that is.

I'm fine with the bundle idea. What do we do now - bundle or installer?
If the latter, is there a good reason why?

Everyone,

Can we have a volunteer for someone to own packaging Bazaar 2.0 on OS X?
I guess that's multiple volunteers:

* a MacPorts owner
* a bundle developer for 10.5
* a bundle developer for 10.4

I'm not sure how long developing/packaging these will take but we want
to leave enough time for end-user testing, install notes, etc. I
therefore think we need to get started on these Real Soon Now.
