It looks like there is a regression with the distribution format when
compared to the Info.plist format.
Let's say your ReadMe message is in a file.
With the distribution format, you can't have a different format for
different languages since the name of the file is to be the same. You
can do this with the Info.plist format.
Example:
I have 2 localizations for the ReadMe: Klingon and Galactic Basic.
The Klingon localized readme file is a .txt file.
The Galactic Basic localized readme file is a rtfd document.
With the distribution format, assuming you're using files, you need
to write something like this:
<readme file="myfilename"/>
You can't set the extension because they are different depending on
the localizations.
While this would work if you had a .txt and .rtf file, it will not
here because when you remove the .rtfd extension to a .rtfd document,
Installer.app is not able to recognize the bundle file to be a rtfd
document.
If you were using the Info.plist file, you would just add the 2 files
to the appropriate .lproj folder, keep the extension and everything
would work fine.
Am I missing something?
