Hello,
I'm creating a disk image from a meta package for the purposes of
auto-launching
installer when the disk image is downloaded from the website.
I'm using the hidden packages method (with the .containedPackages
directory).
This is described at:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/
SoftwareDistribution/Concepts/sd_mpkg_anatomy.html
However, this description is for PackageMaker using the UI.
My Info.plist file references the .containedPackages directory as
follows:
<key>IFPkgFlagComponentDirectory</key>
<string>../.containedPkgs</string>
I currently have:
Description.plist
Info.plist
resources
Meta
In the same directory where Meta is the parent directory of
.containedPackages.
And, of course, the .containedPackages has all the constituent packages
copied into it.
Can anybody tell me the answers to these two questions:
(1) Is this directory structure appropriate for use of PackageMaker on
the command line
to create a meta package.
(2) Assuming the plists are correct, can anybody provide the exact
PackageMaker
command line to build the meta package ?
Thanks a million ....
