I managed to get a BaseX80-SNAPSHOT.app.zip file! Thanks for the pointers. After some maven, Java and perl troubles I got it working. I had to do "mvn package" in the "basex" repo to build the BaseX software. Then, in the "basex-dist" repo in the file "release.pl" I activated the "app" goal (it was commented out) and I added a "dist" folder inside the "mac" folder. It seems to work so far.

Hartelijke groet,

Huib Verweij

Hi Huib,

the Mac aficionados that I know prefer to resort to the homebrew
deployments on BaseX.

I would really like to reactivate our app.zip distribution, but I have
no clue how to make this happen. You are invited to have a look at our
build process [1,2]; maybe you have some idea what needs to be done?

Thanks,
Christian
