= DMGs Stink =
DMG's cannot be uninstalled. They are unversioned, with no notion of "ugprades". They do not handle any dependencies. But, they're what we have.
= Requirements =
You'll need:
* rpm2cpio (which is just a short shell script - you could copy/paste it from somewhere)
* gcc (from XCode)
* packagemaker (from the full XCode install)
= Building A Package =
There are shell scripts to build every custom DMG from the corresponding RPM sources, in [http://hg.mozilla.org/build/puppet/file/tip/modules/packages/manifests/mozilla hg]. They are named $package-dmg.sh.
In a fresh new directory, get a copy of the corresponding src.rpm from http://puppetagain.pub.build.mozilla.org/data, and run
rpm2cpio *.src.rpm | cpio -ivd
it should unpack a tarball, a spec file, and maybe some patches.
Now, run the dmg script:
sh -x *-dmg.sh
it should build the DMG and point you to it in the last line of output.
== Building A Package That Depends On Another ==
This is pretty annoying. You need to find a temporary machine where you can install the first (depended-upon) package, that also has all of the requirements installed.
= Installing a Package =
You can install DMGs with
packages::pkgdmg {
pkgname:
version => "version";
}
note that the version *must* match exactly that given in the name of the DMG.
