-This directory contains the Perl script and supporting files to:
-* Compile Parrot and Rakudo in a way that removes embedded dependencies on
- the builder's home directory; such dependencies have been a problem on
- Darwin.
-* Package the compiled binaries into a .dmg disk image for Mac OS X.
- Users can open the .dmg file, then just drag the Rakudo_Star folder onto
- the /Applications folder to install.
-
-The process currently depends on first downloading the official R* tarball
-for the month, rather than being part of building the tarball itself. This
-may seem non-optimal, but it helps limit the chance of the binary varying
-too much from a end-user's source build, and it keeps the R* release
-manager from needing the same platform as the binary build person. Also,
-it is the way I designed and wrote it before realizing there might be any
-other way :)
