I will probably get rid of those old versions one day... but I don't pay for HDD space so haven't bothered.

The following is my nightly script. This is run by a cron job on my old PPC mac mini running OS X 10.5

<code>
#!/bin/sh
#
. /Users/nick/.bashrc

#Make a nightly build of kicad

#update from launchpad using bazaar
cd /Temp/kicad.bzr/kicad/
bzr update

new_version=`bzr revno`
old_version=`cat /temp/install/version.txt`
if [ $new_version -gt $old_version ]
then
	
	#build it
	cd build/release

	cmake ../../ -DwxWidgets_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE="/usr/local/bin/wx-config" -DwxWidgets_ROOT_DIR="/opt/wxwidgets-svn/include/wx-2.9/" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/temp/install" -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES="ppc -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/ -mmacosx-version-min=10.5" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-D__ASSERTMACROS__" -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT="/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk"

what does the osx-package.pmdoc file do in buidl/release/ ?  
I haven't looked at it for a while, I don't think I ever got it to work for me. I'll see what the command 

/Developer/usr/bin/packagemaker --doc osx-package.pmdoc --title 'Kicad' -o

does right after I've finished re compiling everything for universal binary (started 1.5 hrs ago) :)

sounds like a good idea
