I am building an installation package on Leopard using PackageMaker 3.0.1.


Currently I have one package in my Distribution, however, I would like to run an installer plugin before proceeding as normal.

I have created an Installer Plugin project in X Code 3.0, the output of which is called MyPlugin.bundle, as well as the file InstallerSections.plist.

I can't find any way to add my plugin into the .pkg file output from PackageMaker. I tried placing it in various locations in "Raw Editing Mode."


How can I add my plugin to my distribution?

If you're targetting OS X 10.5, you can't. The format does not support it.


If you target OS X 10.4, you will be able to add it manually (or with a script) after building your package/metapackage.

If I cannot do it, how can I revert to PackageMaker 2.0 and just create the old, folder-based installation packages? (the plugin is working fine with a sample folder-style pkg).
