OK, so I've been sitting back and waiting for OS X packaging experts
to come out of the woodwork. I will assume that that process is
largely done now, but please do let me know, on-list or off-list, if
you would also like to be involved in such a process.<br>
<br>
The highly scientific method of this thread tells us that Homebrew
seems to be the right package manager for Ur/Web, probably based on
assumptions about how technically sophisticated successful Ur/Web
programmers will be, when it comes to their OS environments.<br>
<br>
Thanks, Chris and Eran, for volunteering to produce an official
package. It is probably ideal to have associated code in a public
GitHub repo. (I still plan to move Ur/Web to GitHub soon-ish, at
which point it would be natural to have a repo under the urweb
organization.)<br>
<br>
It sounds like Eran has created a first cut at packaging Ur/Web, but
there are still some issues to iron out. Eran, would you be
comfortable leading the process of solving remaining problems, with
help from Chris and others, based on what you ask them to help with?<br>

Does anyone have experience producing easy-to-install binary
packages for OS X? I remember hearing that there are
several competing packaging systems.<br>
