Hi List--
Haven't heard anything back, other than a couple of people who've
emailed me privately to say that they are also in need of this solution.
Maybe I didn't state it clear enough.
Is it possible to make a Distribution Package relocatable, or at least
respect the IFPkgFlagRelocatable flag in the sub-packages?

| 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
