Hi,

Isn't anyone out there creating metapackages from the command line using PackageMaker 3?

We have 3.0.3 (174) on Leopard and are unable to produce metapackages from the command line as we were with PackageMaker 2 on Tiger.  The man page and documentation indicates the compatibility mode should allow us to use the same commands as we did previously, but it doesn't work.  Here's the command and the error we get on Leopard:

  /.../PackageMaker.app/Contents/MacOS/PackageMaker -build \
-ms "/.../packages" \
-p "/.../result.mpkg" \
-r "/.../resources" \
-i "/.../Info.plist" \
-d "/.../Description.plist" \
-b /tmp

  ERROR: No packages to build.

Any assistance would be appreciated, as we are not presently in a position where we can switch to distributions and I cannot find any evidence to explain why this doesn't work as advertised.

Thanks,

Andrew

Hello,

We're in the process of switching from Xcode 2.5 on Tiger, to Xcode 3.1 on Leopard, but we aren't able to switch to distributions yet; we use pkg/mpkg installers.

My problem is precisely the same as what is listed in this post, which is as yet unanswered.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Andrew
