I went ahead and uploaded it to:
http://bazaar-vcs.org/releases/mac/
and
http://bazaar-vcs.org/releases/mac/Bazaar-1.0-OSX10.5.dmg

To make it a semi-official location.

I also signed it with my gpg signature, though I would rather have Szilveszter
sign it. At least now it has a MD5SUM and SHA1SUM files, and a valid signature
people can use.

I would prefer people to get used to downloading from either Launchpad.net or
from bazaar-vcs.org rather than from third-party sites.

(I tried to upload this to lp.net using lynx on a datacenter machine, and it
400 errored on me. I don't know whethery it was lynx or if it was LP not liking
a 40MB file.)

Anyway, thanks a lot for putting this together. A few small questions:

a) It is nice to have an all-in-one installer. But 40MB seems pretty heavy.
Considering Alexander's win32 distribution is only about 4-5MB. I can't install
it locally (I only have 10.4). Do we know why it is so big? I'm guessing having
a PPC+Intel compile would double sizes. But I wonder if it wouldn't make more
sense to maybe put something like QBzr into a separate package if it is causing
so much bloat.

b) You mention not being able to create a 10.4 binary, but is it just using the
Prepare script on 10.4? Or is there other stuff that needs to be done?

Overall, though. Thanks for all your effort in getting this together.

John
