The BSF4ooRexx installer uses the open-source utility called "Packages" which can be found at: <http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/Packages/resources.html>. It consists of a GUI, but can also be used from the command line. AFAIK it is fairly easy to add preflight or postflight scripts and define when they get executed (e.g. after installation, such that it is easy to create the symbolic links to /usr/local, after deinstallation - e.g. dropping the folder to the Trash - such that one can remove the links from /usr/local. However, this would need probably another learning curve nevertheless and may not be necessary, seeing what your installer does (there must be a way in your installer to define preflight and postflight scripts). ... cut .. > Maybe the better option would be to reach out to the people creating > installers (and uninstallers) > for all kind of stuff (mainly Homebrew and Ports).

Indeed, it would be just *great* if in addition the MacPorts and Home-brew people would create ooRexx installers. [Also, getting a released ooRexx to the various Linux repositiories to make it easy to install and update ooRexx via those repositories. As it seems that currently there are no people knowing how to do it, we should try to get people in the know or people interested in helping the ooRexx project to lend a hand to succeed in this respect finally.] ... cut ... > > Here a mockup of how „my“ dmg installer looks like Really, *very* impressive!
