It doesn't make sense to have an 2.4 or 2.5 install for Snow Leopard (10.6).

Leopard definitely needs a 2.5 install.  A 2.6 install would be nice,
but not essential.

My main point was that the version of 'bazaar' is not consistent.
There should be a 2.0.1, 2.0.2, and now 2.0.3 release for all OS X versions.

So when someone releases a version for OS X, they (or the other OS X
release managers) should build for all OS X versions, so that there is
not this divergence.

It sounds like you have some interest in OS X binary packages, whichsuggests that you might have some access to OS X machines with variousversions of that OS. If there were a simple recipe for building theinstallers, would you be interested in doing that for some elements ofthe set {10.4, 10.5, 10.6} X {2.4, 2.5, 2.6}? How simple would it needto be for you to be interested in helping out with this?
