Looking at the archives on rakudo.org[1], there are .dmg files, which
are packages for Mac I believe. Though, I'm not using a Mac, so please
tell me if these are just Mac specific archives to be unzipped.

The tarball I've created requires compilation in addition to just
"unzipping", though. I'm not sure if that's a problem for regular Mac
users. If it's not, I guess the Mac part is not an obstacle for getting
a release out.
