Hi,

IFPkgFlagAltSourceLocation seems to be really usefull! Thanks for the tip!
But is it safe to use that flag?

With previous OS versions, I would tend to believe it is. Anyway, it's always good to test.


It's not documented anywhere

like a bunch of flags in the new formats.

and I am afraid the functionality could be missing in future releases of OS X

This could happen. But at the same time, what you package could also be incompatible with the next OS version and you would need to make a new version and a new package. In all cases, you will need to check if things are OK on the new OS when it's available.
