Hi

I just noticed that the official builds of pgadmin3 for OSX
are distributed as a .pkg. Since this package only installs
a single Folder (pgAdmin3.app) into /Applications, I believe
that distribution as a .pkg creates more trouble for a user
than a plain zip/bz2/dmg containing pgAdmin3.app

Additionally, most OSX Applications that don't include device
drivers or such, are distributed as a dmg including the app, and
not as a .pkg (e.g. Firefox, Thunderbird, ...)

I could contribute some script that automatically builds a
dmg if there is interest in that.

greetings, Florian Pflug
