Hi Andy,
Check out /Developer/Tools/packagemaker
or "man packagemaker"
It's Apple's command line interface to packagemaker. It's probably
better (and easier) for you to write scripts to interface with that
than to try to match our .psmp format. Our package file format is
not public (and therefore is subject to change), while our command
line interface is public and will remain backwards compatible.
Best,
Luke

Hi Luke,
I am trying to generate PMSP files. For example, I want to automate
the process of creating releases without somebody having to run the
GUI.

Hi,
I am trying to read and write the PMSP file produced by
PackageMaker. Looking into it, you can see it is a binary file
and somewhere close to the beginning is a string: typedstream. I
found some information about typedstream, but the most promising
is the code in GNU Objective C.
That said, before I go and rip a bunch of code out of gcc, is
there any simple explanation on the PMSP file format? I figured
out all strings have length prepended, but there is much more
that is changing.
So, please let me know if you have any more information.
Also, (question for the apple guys) is there a problem with
reverse engineering pmsp file? Will it change anytime soon?
Thank you.
Andy
