Install

To use the repack script, you'll need a few things. They are:

  • a Mac with OSX. Part of the repack process involves creating DMGs, and unfortunately hdiutil is OSX-only. There are alternative methods to creating DMGs, but any we've found so far have been sub-optimal. If hdiutil isn't installed on your Mac, you'll need to grab Apple's Xcode.
  • [ http://www.python.org/ python 2.5] (needed for the subprocess module). It either needs to be the default python used on said mac, or you can run the script using "python2.5 partner-repacks.py ..."
  • pkg-dmg must be in PATH. This tool can be found here.
  • 7-zip (specifically 7za) must be in PATH. Can install this via port or via dmg (p7zip)
  • wget must be in PATH. Again, install via port or whatever.

The repack script can be pulled from SVN
