| Basically we have a build system that we would like to be able to dynamically build packages.
We build plugins that support multiple host apps. I already have a build script that builds a package targeting each host app. The problem is I would like to take the built packages, and wrap them in a single metapackage. I'm not sure from the documentation how to build the metapackage using the packagemaker command line tool.
We have had multiple issues with the PackageMaker.app program, and as I said, this needs to be generated dynamically, so I would like to avoid pmdocs.

Similarly, --info can be used to specify the info.plist, --resources for the resource folder. Most of this can be configured. What I dont know is how to add specific permissions for the files included.
I could probably frame a rough command line for you if I knew your requirements.

Actually, PackageMaker has been a continuing problem for us, so we are going to start building entirely using the command line tool and a series of internal scripts, so I'm kind of wondering how to do it without a .pmdoc. :)

I use the Packagemaker command line to build my metapackage so that I can include it as part of my build process.
This is how I go about it:
Create a metapackage using the Packagemaker command line. This would typically be stored as a .pmdoc. You can use this as input for your packagemaker. The command line would look like:
packagemaker --doc MyPackage.pmdoc --out MyInstaller.mpkg
Instead, if you just want to bundle a directory to be installed, you can use the --root option and specify the directory to bundle.
Do let me know if there is anything else that you are looking for.
Regards,
Karan

What exactly is the syntax for creating a metapackage using the PackageMaker tool? The built in documentation for the tool was not exactly clear on this...
