The Snow Leopard installers I am building do not include the Qt
framework itself, which you have to download and install separately
since it's rather large, but they do include the compiled PyQt framework
as well as the qbzr and explorer plugins.

So to answer your question, yes, I'd be interested in helping out where
I can.  I currently using a MacBook running Leopard, but I'm looking at
upgrading to a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard ... and selling the old
MacBook.

Could you please try getting the branch
lp:~doxxx/+junk/SnowLeopard-package and then do the following:

(first install pyrex for the version of python you're using)
python fetch-externals.py -c config -p
python build.py -d -c config --pmdoc Bazaar-2.0.pmdoc

A typo: s/fetch-externals/fetch-external/

Another problem: 10.5 and earlier don't include subversion in the OS, so it's necessary to install the svn libraries. I'm not sure how the packages that are being built here are linked, but we can't rely on users having the same ones installed. So, we either need to statically link (not sure how this is done) or include the libraries in the package (also not sure how this is done). There are binaries available at http://www.open.collab.net/downloads/community/ for 10.4+.

Does anyone with packaging fu know what to do about things like this?
