I would like to build a software update program that people can
download and use to update my existing software on their system i would
like it to act like software update and download a stuffed pkg and then
install, my question is, is there a framework i can hook into or format
specs for a .pkg file? or even better an example? i know pacifist does
it, so it can be done..
The .pkg format is described here:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/
SoftwareDistribution/index.html

PS: Make sure the update packages you download and install do _not_
have the same name as the package the user installed when they bought
your application. Otherwise, the installer will delete everything
_except_ the data in the update package. So if your installer installs
a package called Foo.pkg, make sure the update is called Foo1.1.pkg.
Does this "feature" exist on every Mac OS X versions?
