As the distribution script is xml, you can build that file yourself with other tools. I used ruby's REXML in one of my projects.

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 line. There are a couple of other references to this problem, but 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, -- Kevin Packard
