I am creating a CUPS printer driver
and need to put the driver in /Library/Printers/Kodak/... and its PPD file
in /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj. While I currently
move everything to the Kodak folder and then run a postflight script to
copy the PPD file where it belongs, this seems like a good place to use
a metapackage file (10.3.9 or later, so dist files need not apply). I can
create the two .pkg files, and I can create a metapackage file that includes
the two .pkg files (both with the Required attribute), but the .mpkg file
allows the user to deselect either (or both) packages after clicking the
Customize button during installation. While I don't mind them seeing there
are two packages, I need both be installed for the driver to work.
How do I require both packages be installed?
(The "Software Distribution" document states the packages' Required
checkbox must be set, but I think this checkbox exists under PackageMaker
2.0.1, which I am using.) _______________________________________________
