Yes. The complete package we propose for download (actually .dmg).

Ok. Let's go...

*2.0RC*

Please consider, we are not able to provide language packs for 2.0RC 
(maybe not possible with .dmg )


Build :

- we use portable format ( .sw format exactly ) for the build.
- the script create-package.sh is used .dmg creation



First we have to :

- complete macosx11 to declare it Ready for QA.
- verify nothing's wrong and include the changes :

Some supplementary informations :
Installation :  double click mount a volume containing a complete 
bundle. The user put an "icon"  in /Applications (or whatever), and 
docks the icon. Click on the docked icon starts OpenOffice.org.


*For 2.0* :

If nothing's wrong nor enormous bug found, I propose this version as 2.0 
for Mac OS X.


*For 2.0.1*

2 tasks :

- try to use some native fonts while first install. As basis :  Stephan 
changes for .ttf extractions using fondu
(see #i42998). It's not a problem to provide a fondu package (including 
binaries).

- fix important remaining issues  ( around 3 in the list)


*After 2.0.1*

2 important tasks :

- improve the installation process. As basis, we can use Kevin Hendricks 
create Mac OS X installer #i32748#
This task includes : find why epm stops while packaging, if ever .pkg 
format is choosen.

- make language packs available : probably the package type will have to 
change  (.dmg will change for .pkg.zip, or other)

For future developments, I'll propose soon a todo list and a roadmap.


-> I hope have forgotten nothing (please let me know)

>We would have a better background then to decide whats in-scope 

We do the best we can. And I sincerely think an enormous work has been done.

Yes. Just keep in mind all the changes made in just some days.

Of course. Thank you for your vote :-)
