###Introduction:
This document describes Codethink's plan for producing an installer for the Moonshot GSS EAP and SASL GS2 libraries for Mac OS X 10.6 (“Snow Leopard”) and 10.7 (“Lion”). The installer will include the libraries and all dependencies, and will perform any configuration necessary to allow the libraries to be used.
-The Moonshot GSS EAP library implements the EAP mechanism for use by the GSS API. The GSS API is implemented by the Kerberos which ships with Mac OS (but see Issues below)

-The SASL GS2 Library implements the GS2 SASL mechanism for use by the SASL2 library.
+The SASL GS2 Library implements the GS2 GSS-API->SASL bridge mechanism for use by the SASL2 library.
The document describes the goals, activities, deliverables and milestones for the development. It also gives some background on the intended locations of the files to be installed, system configuration modifications and any other pertinent information.
###Goals
Secondary goals are
-1. To allow users who are familiar with the autotools tool chain to install, as well as build, the libraries using autotools on a computer running Mac OS X. (This is currently possible for the Cyrus SASL library and plugins, but not for the Moonshot GSS EAP library).
-
-2. To automate (as far as possible) and document the process, allowing Moonshot project developers to easily produce installer packages for future versions of these libraries.

###Deliverables:
1. Changes to files if required to allow the Moonshot GSS EAP library to be installed, as well as built, under Mac OS using autotools.
For each component in the package, properties will be
- Destination (To): The appropriate subdirectory of the /Library/Frameworks/Moonshot directory tree
+ Destination (To): The appropriate directory
Custom destination consent (Allow custom location): False.
Package identifier: net.ja.moonshot.xxxx (where xxx identifies the individual library)
Package version number: 1 for first release, incremented in future releases
To be completed (See Outstanding questions/issues 3)

#####Dependencies
The installer will not include any dependencies which are present by default in the installed version Mac OS X.
-For any dependencies which are not present by default in the installed version Mac OS X, the installer will install the needed versions in the /Library/Frameworks/Moonshot directory tree. It will not attempt to locate or use existing installations of these dependencies. This means that if such existing implementations are uninstalled in the future, the Moonshot libraries will not be broken. This decision has a cost in terms of disk space, but is justified because it a: decreases the complexity of the installation and b: protects the installation from potential failure.
