Hi Nick,
Ok, thanks.
I don’t know the side-effects of the COPYFILE_DISABLE flag, so I prefer not to
use it other than make dist.
Good to see the open bug report and hope it’ll be fixed sometime in the future.
In the mean time, I decided to write some code in the dist-hook to check if the

Background: The COPYFILE_DISABLE=1 avoids having a second top-level
directory in your package when packaging on MacOSX.
So far, my attempt was to
