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".
