The current OS X installer builder has no provision for changing the architecture type or deployment target to allow different installer types, such as 4-way universal, to be built. The attached patch allows for builds on systems other than 10.4 and adds two new arguments to build-installer.py: --dep-target=10.n, [default 10.3] --universal-archs=x where x = '32-bit' -> 2-way 32-bit (intel|ppc) [default] '64-bit' -> 2-way 64-bit (intel
ppc) 'all' -> 4-way universal The default values are the current hard-coded ones.
Committed as r70737 (trunk), r70738 (2.6), r70739 (3.1) There is a small issue related to the bsddb3 tests with a 4-way universal build on the trunk and 2.6, I'll look into that in the near future.
Raymond: I had intended to assign the issue to myself but I obviously need more training with dropdown menu's (your name is just above mine in the assigned-to menu).
Closing this issue because it was fixed a while back. The bsddb test failure I rever to in my previous message turned out to be a non-issue: these tests just take a very long time to finish.
