Hello,
I've still not solved building a Distribution Package from the
command line. I've filed a bug.
Are developers just not using Distribution Package? If they are, how
are developers automating the build process?
thanks,

Hello,
I'm having trouble building a Distribution Package from the command

I haven't seen any solutions (http://lists.apple.com/archives/
installer-dev/2006/Sep/msg00057.html and http://lists.apple.com/
archives/installer-dev/2006/Oct/msg00062.html)
Is this a known bug, or is there a solution? If this is a known
bug, how are people automating the Checkout, Build, Build Installer
process on OS X?
Any help much appreciated.
The dirty details:
- from within Package Maker, my pmproj builds a working mpkg file
- from the command line, I build the pmproj with:
/Developer/Applications/Utilities/PackageMaker.app/Contents/MacOS/
PackageMaker -build -proj Installer.pmproj -ds -p ./Installer.mpkg
- and I see the following build errors:
Missing identifier field for "Package1.pkg"
Missing identifier field for "Package2.pkg"
Missing size field for "Package1.pkg"
Missing size field for "Package2.pkg"
- and the resulting mpkg fails to install with the following error:
Failed to locate package at path Installer.mpkg/Contents/Packages/
(null)
- when comparing the good and bad mpkg files, only the Contents/
distribution.dist is different
thanks,
