Re: commandline Installer Creation doesn't honor Resources

This seems to be a bug in the commandline pm tool:

The Resources are not referenced inside the Flat Package's Distribution,
whereas when I set the target lower than 10.5 the installer will behave as expected, for the price of not having a flat package but a 10.4 style distribution.


But honestly I'm fine with this, since the package is distributed on a dmg.

thanks for all hints.

I followed the step to remove the .svn dirs - to no avail.

But inside the distribution script I cannot find any references to any of y UI elements, anyone?

Can you post the contents of the Distribution file?

It should contain references to your License, ReadMe or Background files.

Something like:

<background file="Background.jpg" alignment="Something" scaling="Something else"/>

<license file="License.txt"/>

<readme file="ReadMe.txt"/>

If it does not, then your resources won't be used.

Hope it can help.



N.B.: I never used the packagemaker tool so I can't tell if you're using a PackageMaker project to build the FLAT metapackage or it's built only from the parameters.
