The second alternative is the way to go if we ever want to have
uninstall capabilities in the future.
A generic uninstaller could use receipt info to figure out what to
remove. A generic uninstaller could not "rewind" a post-install or
post-upgrade script.
Alas, I think we may never see robust uninstall on OS X, because it
would require changes from Apple _and_ from all package developers.

Hi Jason
You can install the files in a temporary location and then move them
to the
OS specific location using postinstall or postupgrade scripts. Of
course in
this case the BOM will not contain the location where the files
really end
up, but if that's not a problem then the above mentioned method
should work.
Another alternative is to create 2 pkgs and then wrap them into a meta
package and have the OS based version check in the InstallationCheck
script
that will block the installation of one pkg or the other depending
on the OS
the mpkg is installed on.

Hi All,
I want to create a package installer that works on both Tiger and
Leopard. My issue is that 10.4 and 10.5 keep system Python files in a
different location.
Is it possible to create an installer that can put files in a
different location depending upon platform version? I have tried
and I
am not seeing what I can do.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
-Jason
