Description (last modified by Russell Taylor) (diff)
I'm generating this ticket as an action from our meeting, although, we have already agreed that we will leave the packaging as-is for iteration 2.5
- Look into bundling Python
- Look into bundling PyQt, Sip. etc
- Upgrade the version of Qt in the third-party to 4.8
- Possibly drop the 10.6 package depending upon the outcome of the 2.4 SSC meeting.
There may be other things we want to do. Please add.

Re #6563. Remove installer preflight script.
It was just cleaning up long-gone items so I don't think we need it anymore. It can't be used with a DragNDrop installer anyway.

Re #6563. Don't get stuck waiting for license acceptance.
The dmg has the GPL license embedded within it, which the user is required to accept before the volume is mounted. This accepts it by piping acceptance into the command. The output to /dev/null deals with the fact that the license is multi-page (effectively it scrolls to the bottom which is where the 'Y' needs to be entered).

Re #6563. A way of installing that doesn't hang!
I'd only tested the previous method I tried on the command line. Turned out that didn't work within python.

Re #6563. Add library that exists in newer PyQt to installer.
In newer PyQt versions (e.g. 4.9.6), there's an additional library that appears to contain most of the symbols, with the QtCore.so etc libraries just being thin wrappers that import it. This library needs to make it into the install kit if it exists.

- Status changed from inprogress to verify
- Resolution set to fixed
The bundle has been 'upgraded' by changing it from PackageMaker to DragNDrop. Ticket #9255 has been created to visually enhance this new installer, but in the meantime it does work so long as you know what to do.
Of the other items in the description, I've no intention of bundling Python. PyQt, sip & QScintilla could be put in third party, but I don't see a pressing need to do so. Stuart is looking into whether we could use homebrew instead of Third_Party. Qt is not currently in Third_Party so upgrading that is a case of changing the version installed on the buildserver (and I think that has been upgraded to 4.8). Support for 10.6 has already been dropped.
To test:
The branch is called feature/6563_osx_dragndrop_installer. Note that there are both main repository and systemtests branches for this ticket that need to be merged.
Test by taking the install kit from here, checking that you can install into Applications by dragging and that MantidPlot works OK after installation. Observe also that the system tests job successfully ran off this installer last night.
