There's only three if you check the script out - Mac, .rpm and .deb. Is it really that hard to set up packages for three things? Depending on what's in there, it could also just be a node package.

Do you know what you're saying? Three binary packages. Three different systems that you have to learn separately. Have you ever made a .deb or .rpm, let alone a YUM or APT repository? The documentation is horrible. The .deb documentation mentions all kinds of abbreviations and obscure commands... fakeroot, autobuilder, pbuilder, dh_make, devscripts... good luck with that if you don't even use Debian as your primary OS. RPMs are slightly easier though by much. And this is only about generating the .debs/.rpms themselves. Good luck learning all the complex packaging rules and dependency specification rules. What if you don't have a Mac, do you have to fork over $1500+ to buy one just so you can create a .pkg?
