Right now, one of the last blockers for the Mac v5 packaging efforts is wxpython. If it's having issues on other platforms, I may actually table that for a few days and see if we can get everything else going, and then we can have a good* (minus wxpython) rc2 for testing, and then tackle wxpython as the last remaining thing.
