Where do I put the custom Requirements Script

I am running Leopard PackageMaker 3.0.2 (174) and am trying to use a Requirements script to test a condition prior to installing. PackageMaker lets me select "Result of Script" , I can choose my script to run and enter my failure message, title and Message. However, the actual script does not get included in the package that is built.

Also, I'm using minimum Target of Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard which is a flat file approach so I don't see how/where the package can even get the script. I also read somewhere that adding scripts is not supported on this flat file format.

After much reading of the mailing lists I decided to set the Minimum Target back down to Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger, and manually copied my script into the Resources folder that I created, and it worked.

Is this really the approach we should take to include scripts in PackageMaker?
Why does the UI allow me to choose the script that I run, but does not include it in the package?


What am I missing?

Thanks,
Kevin
