[mythtv] Is anyone using osx-packager.pl on OS X with x86?

Hi Devin. Sorry for the delay in investigating this further.

The only think I can suggest is to mail us the entire build output?

./osx-packager 2>&1 | tee buildlog.txt

I just did a completely clean build to force a new UFS disk image:

% curl 'http://cvs.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/contrib/OSX/ 
osx-packager.pl?format=txt' -o osx-packager.pl

% chmod 755 osx-packager.pl

% ./osx-packager
...
cp -f "mythweather_fi.qm" "../../../../../build/share/mythtv/i18n/"
"disk2" unmounted.
"disk2" ejected.

%

And, just to check:

% hdiutil mount .osx-packager.dmg -mountpoint ./.osx-packager
/dev/disk2              Apple_partition_scheme
/dev/disk2s1            Apple_partition_map
/dev/disk2s2            Apple_UFS                       /Volumes/ 
Backups/.osx-packager

%

so on my machine there is nothing wrong with UFS FS builds.
