Installer Package database questions

Hi all,

 

I’ve just upgraded to Leopard, and PackageMaker v3.0.1.  I see that Apple have introduced a database for installer packages in \Library\Receipts.

 

I can’t seem to find much info or documentation about this.  Test installers I’ve created with the new PackageMaker end up as a .pkg bundle in \Library\Receipts, like they used to on Tiger.  Using pkgutil to display the contents of the database shows no sign of my test packages.

 

First question I guess is this – Does anyone know of any useful documentation or information source for this installer package database?

 

Second question(s) – How to make an installer package integrate with the database?  I’ve seen references to ‘flat packages’ here and there – is this what it needs?

 

Kind Regards
