[racket-dev] Racket DMG improvements
I believe that making dmg files is quite difficult without OS X. The way
to go is (confirmed here: [1]) is to create a template with the
background and icons in place and then replace the contents of the disk
image without touching the saved metadata. Uncompressed HFS+ images may
be mounted on Linux but I am not sure if there is a way to do it without
being root.
I believe there is a problem with compressing .dmg images without OS X.
But these guys [2] seem to have some solution based on [3].
