if you are thinking about the .dmg.gz file release here - ups, no go. In fact, the .dmg *is* compressed (you can do this conversion with DiskCopy, too, BTW - I wonder what exactly are the advantages of the various wrappers around hdiutil one can get? I see why hdiutil is useful, for scripts, I use it myself - but what about alls these DMG tools, what advantage do they have?). Anyway, the reason for the .gz is *not* to save space (also it squeezes out another 100 KB). The reason is that SourceForge currently has no file type for .dmgs. Hence incorrect MIME information is transfered to http clients. As a result, if you click on the .dmg link in Internet Explorer, it will display a .dmg in a text window instead of downloading it - ouch! The only work around for this currently is to use this trick. Very ugly, I agree. I have submitted a support request to SF on this, but they had similiar ones previously I think and nothing happend so far :/ Let's hope...
