#13509: Support .dmg disk images as distfiles with new use_dmg option --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@macports.org | Owner: ryandesign@macports.org Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts base enhancements Component: base | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by boeyms@macports.org): * cc: boeyms@macports.org (added) Comment: I haven't tested it yet, but it looks good. One small suggestion, though: if it's not too much effort, it'd be nice to wrap this bit in a test for the platform that the user is running on so that fails more gracefully if MacPorts is not installed on Mac OS X. For other platforms, there's a Java program called [http://hem.bredband.net/catacombae/dmgx.html DMGExtractor], but it doesn't fail gracefully when it doesn't succeed, it's not really designed for command-line use (though it can be used that way), and it only works for some UDIF dmgs (those that have been successfully reverse-engineered, since it seems that Apple is not releasing the specs). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13509#comment:1> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
