Jordi had fixed the Linux package builder so it could also build the Windows package. Is it possible to build the release package for OS X under Linux as well?

I can investigate, but don't think it will be straight forward. As a workaround, can't you create a script that SSH in to your Mac, executes the build scripts and then sends the file back to your Linux machine?

Sure, that's possible, and I'll do it that way if it turns out to be impractical to do it locally.

I've tried now, for a couple of days, to create an installer for Mac OS X using tools available on other platforms. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get a working installer. I have an installer running but it cannot finish the installation. The installer uses weird archive formats and other undocumented formats.

Can't all installers be built on a Mac instead? I know that's not ideal.
