 Description   

I'm not sure if this has been considered but I would find it useful to be able to download MariaDB 10.X binaries as either a tar ball or a package for OSX.

https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/10.1.9/ shows packaged binaries for various flavours of linux, tarball binaries for Linux and also binaries for Windows. Nothing is shown for OSX.

Other forks of MySQL do provide such binaries and packages which is convenient.

So either a tarball package which is useful for testing with MySQL Sandbox or a packaged binary would be useful.

I note that homebrew does work and install a version of MariaDB, currently 10.1.X but that does require installing homebrew first. Also it's not clear if I want to install a specific version how I might do that. This is sometimes important for testing bugs, and for the same reason there may be a desire or need to install 10.0.X instead. The instructions for installing are rather vague at the moment.

Notes:

https://postgresapp.com/ (ref: https://github.com/PostgresApp/PostgresApp/blob/master/buildscripts/build.sh ) has good community reviews.

With a few CPack options the same concepts could be ported:
