Wrapp

Wrap an App... in a disk image (DMG).

Prologue

Say you wanna put your nice Mac OS X application in a handy disk image (DMG) for distribution. Why not use wrapp for this? It is even shorter to type then hdiutil ;-)

NOTE: This runs on Mac OS X only!

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'wrapp'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install wrapp

Usage

Try wrapp --help!

Some examples...

Wrap the Chunky Bacon App:

wrapp /Applications/Chunky\ Bacon.app

Wrap the Chunky Bacon App and include the parent directory (some stuff like TeamViewer or FileMaker reside in sub-directories of /Applications rather then the top-level):

wrapp --include-parent-dir /Applications/why/Chunky Bacon.app

The commands create a DMG like chunky_bacon_1.2.3.dmg (named after the App + Version) that contains the given App.

Thats it.
