Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, the disk image creation is
automated, in a scrip which calls hdiutil. We first create a read-
write disk image and then compress it to a read only one. We would
need to do this procedure on the read-write one, since the read-only
one is... well... read-only ;) And the read-write one never actually
appears. We would have to stop the process each time and do this
manually. Not a big deal probably but something that puts yet another
barrier between us a regular Inkscape builds for OS X. So basically I
think we just need to find the command-line way of doing this, which
exists, for sure.
If you can find it, that would be great.
Otherwise, we can still do the manual process once, for the release.
Stick around at that time and give your informations again to the one
in charge.
