[DRAFT] Bazaar 2.0.0 distribution for Snow Leopard

 

Here's my first bake of a binary distribution of Bazaar 2 for Snow Leopard.

http://www.devklog.net/software/Bazaar2.0.0.pkg

It includes the following packages:

- bzr 2.0.0
- subvertpy 0.6.9
- bzr-email 0.0.1
- bzr-keychain 0.1
- bzr-rewrite 0.5.4
- bzr-svn 1.0
- bzrtools 2.0.1

I consider this distribution a sort of "core" distribution with only the most useful plug-ins included. If you have additional plug-ins to add to this list, please feel free to let me know. Notice that the package is a flat-package (e.g. it is a file) and thus the experience will be 1. User downloads package from web site 2. Installer launches to install the software.

There are some missing items in the distribution, and I would appreciate feedback on them:

- Suitable read-me. The Bazaar read-me doesn't make sense (at least not in its entirety).
- Description for each of the components.

Do note that I am not including any UI-related plug-ins with this distribution. I think we need to re-think how we distribute a UI on Mac OS X, namely that we should package as an application bundle bzr- explorer (along with bzr and all dependencies). This is what non- expert Mac OS X users expect and want. This distribution is for developers and system admins.

I wrote a fairly simple script to build the distribution, coupled with a PackageMaker document. I can put up a branch of it on Launchpad if there is interest.
