That sounds like exactly what I would like to do, but I'm not quite
sure how to copy the plist into the package. I was looking at
using pax, but since I'm targeting Leopard, and developing on
Leopard, package maker keeps making metapackages, which pax doesn't
seem to understand, and I can't find out the equivelent of the old
"Show Package Contents."
So far it seems o be the metapackages screwing me up. Any thoughts?
2 thoughts:
- don't target Leopard in PackageMaker, it will create FLAT package
(which are xar archives). Just target 10.4 or 10.3 depending on
whether you prefer a distribution script or a good old plist.
- it's better to use ditto to create your .pax archive. pax can have
some issues on Leopard and Tiger when it comes to ACL or other funny
little things.
