The last ones I got from you worked very well: just a few test failures 
and the current one seems to be doing about the same.

Thank you very much for providing these! I hope you will post them to 
the matplotlib official site.

One odd failure (in both of them) that I don't remember seeing before:
/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/projections/geo.py:485: 
RuntimeWarning: invalid value encountered in arcsin
  theta = np.arcsin(y / np.sqrt(2))

There's a complaint about an invalid font name, but I've seen that for 
quite some time:
Ekpathsea: Invalid fontname `Bitstream Vera Serif', contains ' '

FAILED (KNOWNFAIL=2, SKIP=1, errors=2)

One small suggestion: if it's not too much trouble, might you make them 
.dmgs? It's a bit more convenient then having to unzip them to use them. 
But if it's too much work don't bother; zipped mpkg are fine and it's 
wonderful to have complete binary installers.
