Package Maker v3 is full of bugs and pretty much useless. I recommend

When I needed to make installer construction part of the automated
process, I reached the same conclusion independently, long before
joining this list. I might have been more tactful, or I might not.
In my case, the deal breaker that I could not work around was the loss
of permissions. That was not the only issue, just the one that made it
impossible to use.
When 3.1 (PackageMaker 3.0.2) came out, I gave it another try and
tripped over new (or perhaps previously undiscovered problems). I
returned again to the 2.1.1 build.
UI improvements may be fine. Don't need 'em. Need basic functionality
with command line invocation.
This should hardly be news to anyone who reads this list, but I hope it
might become a bit more important in the developer's (or their
manager's) minds.
Fortunately, we still target 10.4 (and will for some time) so any 10.5
features tend to be unused anyway. This means there is still time for us
(and most developers with existing products) to allow the tool to mature
enough to be useful.
