You do, of course, realize that you only have to do the build once
and then just copy the binary, right?


Yes.

But consider, for example, ClamXav provides installer packages to handle
"secondary details" like creating the clamav user as needed. Again an excellent
developer choice.

If the executable in question only requires basic commands to be reached so be
it, but there's always complications to be found.

Make your own installer package using the free Apple-provided tool. If you need the install to accomplish something more than pushing out the pre-compiled binary via Apple Remote Desktop.

The point of all this is, here is something with excellent functionality that you may (or, may not !) desire.
ARD makes distribution as easy as it can get.

Keep in mind that many commercial products do not user Install(er) Packages. Meaning you still have to install on a master/source machine and distribute via ARD, unless you prefer hitting every one of your many machines in-person.
