Title: Make Distro Relocatable...
List--
Been looking through the software distribution guide and not having much luck with this one:
I am building an installer that has shared media content between mac and windows and has to span multiple disks. These two issues turned out to be fairly straight forward, although one of my intrepid colleagues had to hack an existing installer's info.plist to figure this out. HOWEVER, the sticky piece of this is turning out to be making this relocatable. Some of the files are quite large( >500mb), and it's customary to allow a user to choose a different drive/folder to put the large files in.
There are essentially two application folders, one that's relocatable (the large files) and another that we just want to put into /Applications. I've built the initial packages and a metapackage using iceberg, and the relocatable property is respected. HOWEVER this is not respected when bringing the metapackage into PackageMaker to allow the ejecting of CD's.
I've pounded my head against the wall for a couple of days with no success. I really don't want to have to abandon Iceberg/PM for VISEX. Any suggestions?
As an aside, is there a place that provides full documentation for all the keys in the INFO.plist?
Thanks for any suggestions
