Hi Colin,

I use the Packagemaker command line to build my metapackage so that I can include it as part of my build process.
This is how I go about it:

Create a metapackage using the Packagemaker command line. This would typically be stored as a .pmdoc. You can use this as input for your packagemaker. The command line would look like:
packagemaker --doc MyPackage.pmdoc --out MyInstaller.mpkg

Instead, if you just want to bundle a directory to be installed, you can use the --root option and specify the directory to bundle.

Do let me know if there is anything else that you are looking for.

Regards,
Karan

What exactly is the syntax for creating a metapackage using the PackageMaker tool? The built in documentation for the tool was not exactly clear on this...
