   about the project
buildDMG
buildDMG
buildDMG is a small Perl script for creating dmgs from the command line or from within Project Builder. It supports compression as well as internet enabling and adding of a software license agreement. Additionally there is some special support for Project Builder/Xcode which allows e.g. dmg or volume names containing the version number of your project or removing your dmg when cleaning the target using buildDMG.
   recent news

   prerequisites
buildDMG is based on hdiutil. See the hdiutil(1) manpage for the details on which system version is required for which feature. The basic functionality of creating a dmg should be available since OS X 10.0 (I haven't tested that).

Just copy buildDMG.pl to an appropriate location (e.g. ~/bin).
