Hi,
make-package creates hard links (and symlinks) in an extra bin/ folder
in the .app bundle:
# Make the application binary a hard link
rm $installprefix/../MacOS/Emacs
ln $installprefix/../MacOS/bin/emacs $installprefix/../MacOS/Emacs
why is this happening?
It looks like that in the installation - via a .pkg package / and an
.dmg - you end up with three identical, but separate files that each
take up 15MB.
What is Contents/MacOS/bin for anyways?
If it is needed, can we safely make a symlink instead of a hard link?
Thanks
