[mythtv-users] Mac OS X packaging -- other executables

[Craig Treleaven]

Hi:

I noticed in the 0.25 release notes that a bunch of utility functions 
were consolidated into mythutil and got wondering if osx-packager.pl 
had been modified to plop it into one of the Mac .app bundles*.  One 
thing led to another and I've found that none of the following Myth 
executables are included in any of the Mac .app bundles:

mytharchivehelper
mythmetadatalookup
mythpython
mythccextractor
mythreplex
mythshutdown
mythffmpeg
mythutil
mythlcdserver
mythwikiscripts
mythmediaserver
mythzmserver

I would think that at least mythutil ought to be packaged.  Maybe 
mythmetadatalookup, mythwikiscripts, and mythffmpeg too?  Others?

BTW, why do we need a MythCommFlag.app?  I can't imagine any instance 
where a standalone app is useful.  The mythcommflag executable is 
present in the MythBackend.app and MythJobQueue.app.  In the same 
vein, mythfilldatabase is present in MythBackend.app; I don't see a 
need for a standalone MythFillDatabase.app bundle.
