Re: [platform-dev] MacOS .dmg vs .tar.gz

Hi Jonah,

.tar.gz should be avoided at all cost to prevent issues like https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=507328

Hello folks,

The Eclipse Platform delivers Mac packages as only DMG files. This is what EPP does too. The Oomph Eclipse Installer publishes both .tar.gz and .dmg files, but only the dmg is linked from eclipse.org/download.

I am not familiar with MacOSX, so this question may be unreasonable.

Is it possible to publish both .tar.gz and .dmg for MacOSX?

Thanks,

Jonah
