Hello all,
Sorry for perhaps some mundane questions, but I'm trying to
understand the solution that works best for me. Currently I've made
a Distribution package with PM 3. Unfortunately a number of our
installation items are 3rd party packages (or in some cases
metapackages). As far as I'm aware PM 3 packages are distributed
packages, and thus cannot support metapackages. I'm trying to
determine if it's possible to make a metapackage installer in Leopard
Yes, just target Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) in the Alert sheet that
appears when you create a new project (you can call it back later
through the menu bar).
I'm thinking that a metapackage might be a better solution but how
can I mimic the logical branching of a Distributed one. I ONLY need
the ability to mark an installer as valid or not based on system
version being installed in. I guess this could be done with a script?
Yes, just exit with 64 to disable the package. It's not as flexible
as a distribution scrip, yet it's less complex to manage.
