Any sign of progress on the open sourcing of the BOM format since Kevin Van Vechten's request a long time ago?

I wonder why Apple don't provide at least a public API for the Bom framework. It may be very useful to develop custom installer makers. Apple's one (and the mkbom command) is hard to use in automatic tasks and not very flexible.


Are there specific problems you experience when using the available tools? Have you filed bug reports about those issues?

I'm one of the engineers working on the Installer, and I can tell you that bug reports carry lots of weight when setting priorities and direction for these tools.

I also think you'll be impressed with some upcoming improvements. :-)
