[Qgis-psc] QGIS for Mac OS packaging and infrastructure

Wed Feb 20 05:35:36 PST 2019

Hi Tim,

For python packages, see
https://github.com/lutraconsulting/qgis-mac-packager/issues/41
It is not ideal, but should work.

For the crash, I suggest starting from a fresh user profile.
https://github.com/lutraconsulting/qgis-mac-packager/issues/67

We were not aware of extra funding and tried to bring the packages to a
good shape for this week's release.

Kind regards
Saber
