Builds for Mac OS broken

The release tgz for Linux x86 only contains one big executable, where the binaries for OS X are jus stubs, needing access to the src directory. This is quite inconvenient in terms of (cross platform) scripting and litters /usr/local/bin (or any other installation directory).

Please provide a uniform file layout across platforms (which would be just one big executable without dependencies to src). Or don't advertise archives as binary packages, if they really aren't.

One might use a tool like makeself to emulate such a behaviour.

You can unpack into /opt/sass_embedded and then symlink /opt/sass_embedded/dart-sass-embedded into /usr/local/bin which works cross platform.

Remember dart is a vm language. The linux binary is basically architecture-specific aot-snapshot embedded into a dart vm runtime executable. The mac release just has the aot-snapshot and vm executable as separate files so that the vm executable from dart sdk is already code signed. To create a single file like linux, it would require code signing on the single file, which is not yet supported in dart_cli_pkg.

Closing this out because the builds aren't actually broken, this is just a request for a different layout—which, as @ntkme says, is blocked on having code signing support in dart_cli_pkg.
