I will review your scripts and packaging rules after 4.10.0 planned<br>
next week. I'm also busy with lessons writing in my office. I must<br>
complete it in few days.<br>
<br>
After that, i will update macports install on my Macbook pro, and i<br>
will try to build digiKam DMG using your scripts. I'm sure that<br>
questions will come.<br>
<br>
Best<br>
