I don't see much benefit in a DMG packaging (for a server application) alone. tar.gz is fine on Mac, and AFAIK a DMG can only be created on Mac OS X. Other ideas for Mac (though none interests me personally enough to work on it): * build a preference pane to control (start,stop) Tomcat * ship a sample launchd configuration * maybe build a Tomcat installer that * installs Tomcat to a well-defined location that works well with the OS X directory layout * provides a choice to install the launchd configuration or the preference poane for manual control --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
