 Why is pgadmin3 distributet as a .pkg? Hi I just noticed that the official builds of pgadmin3 for OSX are distributed as a .pkg. Since this package only installs a single Folder (pgAdmin3.app) into /Applications, I believe that distribution as a .pkg creates more trouble for a user than a plain zip/bz2/dmg containing pgAdmin3.app Additionally, most OSX Applications that don't include device drivers or such, are distributed as a dmg including the app, and not as a .pkg (e.g. Firefox, Thunderbird, ...) I could contribute some script that automatically builds a dmg if there is interest in that. greetings, Florian Pflug ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org      |
