I'm trying to build a metapackage that installs version A of a
component on Tiger, and version B of the same component on
Leopard. After setting the OS version requirements on each
component, everything seems to work properly, but PackageMaker
seems to require that each package has a different package
identifier, even if the package version is different. If I
manually edit the identifiers to be the same, opening the
metapackage causes Installer to return an error ("Operation could
not be completed. com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error -1").
Is there a way to accomplish what I'm trying to do? After a
successful install, the package receipt has the package identifier
shown in PackageMaker, which I expect will cause problems with
upgrades.
I would be pleasantly surprised if it worked correctly with OS
version requirements since PackageMaker does not generate correct
requirements unless you write them manually.
