Hmm, I didn't know a .pkg could be a single file. It seems they always come as a bundle wrapped in a .dmg instead, which makes it easier to look inside if one is so inclined. Any specific reason you went for this solution? Is it easier to build that way?

Yeah, I noticed that too. I didn't choose it this way, it's just how it happened. I first put it in a dmg, but then noticed that it was just a file and not a dir. I set Leopard as the minimum requirement, so maybe Leopard's installer has support for single file packages (maybe bzipped tarballs with some meta-data... but I dunno).



Yup, Leopard has new support for "flat packages". -- Ben Byer CoreOS / BSD Technology Group, XDarwin maintainer
