In the chapter on desktop deployment [1], what do the installers do? I'm more specifically interested in the Mac OS one. I guess it builds a .dmg file. What should I provide as input ?

sorry, this "chapter" only contains some notes. The idea of the installers is that they look like all other installers in the world: they put binary and support files to a standard directory of your file-system (e.g., program files on windows, /usr on linux, /Applications on MacOSX). The one for Mac OS creates a dmg with a standard drag&drop interface to put a .app (the input) to /Applications. An example of such a dmg is at https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/PharoLauncher-Mac-Package/ -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm."
