The script is in https://github.com/sagemath/binary-pkg A relocatable binary is made, so that the hardcoded paths in binaries (i.e. dylibs and executables) are rewritten by an installation script with the actual values, before the 1st run.. I don't see how this can be reconciled with the need to codesign binaries on modern macOS. One needs an installer that will build something that must be installed in /Applications and codesign the binaries before the distribution is wrapped up. It is probably not much work for someone who knows these macOS details, though. We're removed an even more broken thing, a macOS app, in a recent sage 9.3 beta. https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/30867 It's even more broken, and requires work in Xcode IDE to be fixed.
