I create two disk images, copy over
all of my files with correct permissions the the first image. I then
created projectmaker projects based upon this disk image. This allows
me to use fully qualified paths in the projecs.
When I want to build a package, I drive
it from the command line...
create the packaging disk image:
hdiutil create -volname
PackagingDisk -size 300m -fs HFS+ ./PackagingDisk.dmg
hdiutil attach ./PackagingDisk.dmg
-owners on
copy the files, set permissions
build the packages:
/Developer/usr/bin/packagemaker
-build -proj <path to .pmproj file> -p /Volumes/PackagingDisk/<packagename>.pkg
copy into the package the pre/post install
scripts
repeat for all packages in the distribution
This creates all of the packages for
the distribution. All that is left is to wrap them all up in the
distribution...
I have scripted this too...
Create the distribution directory structure.
Copy all sub-packages to the distribution
directory structure, along with the other distribution files.
Then I create a disk image from the
distribution directory
hdiutil create -quiet -srcfolder
"/Volumes/PackagingDisk/<my package>.mpkg/" ./<disk
image name>.dmg
hdiutil internet-enable
./<disk image name>.dmg
Yes, it takes about 1000 lines of shell
scripting to make all this happen... nice huh?
No, I can't share any more than I already
have... sorry...
I do have pmproj files for all of the
packages.
I have one for the distribution too
but I only use that to generate the initial distribution.dist file. The
one we ship has been edited by hand so I only run the distrubtion project
to get new package sizes.

I create two disk images, one to store

This allows me to have fully qualified paths that are consistant accross
systems and gets around the relative path issues...
Can you describe that a little more fully? 'Cause
I'm Really Interested in this topic, but I don't follow your solution....
