It depends on what you mean by updater.
An installation package that checks for a certain previous version
of an application, then installs the changed files/directories, is
an effectively an updater and is certainly possible with
PackageMaker. If you mean something that actually patches files ala
diff/patch, then, no, you can't do that easily with PackageMaker
(you _could_ with a postflight script, but that's really violating
the spirit of install packages)
By updater I mean an installation package that replaces old files.
I have no idea how to get rid of interface components such as
Introduction, Destination Select, Installation Type, etc. I want the
updater to immediately start updating and showing the progress. I
don't know what should I specify as "Install Destination". I guess
none of the listed options (Volume selected by user, System volume,
User home directory) should be checked. I also guess that
"Destination" field for each file that is going to be updated should
be blank.
