Comment(by rransom):

 Replying to [comment:22 Sebastian]:

 > I absolutely agree that .dmg is the proper way to distribute normal
 applications on osx, but TBB is not a normal application like all the
 others. We could fix that, but by doing so we'd need to accept that
 there's no way to confine TBB to one single directory anymore. That's
 probably what we should do anyway, as the portability aspect is much less
 important now that we force TBB for everyone rather than have the
 possibility of the Vidalia bundle; but that's a separate discussion (which
 we should have, asap).

 âtramsâ reports that TBB is not confined to one directory on MacOS.  I
 don't see any hope of fixing the ooze on Mac, so it probably is time to
 give up there.
