I notice that most packages, i.e. *.pkg are usually composed of a
directory hierarchy, i.e. mypackage.pkg/Contents/MacOs, etc. ...and after these are
installed, there is a similar copy placed in the /Library/Receipts directory.
Recently, I installed a package (still with *.pkg extension) but it was
a single file - not a directory hierarchy. After it was installed,
instead of en entry in /Library/Receipts,
there was an entry in /Library/Receipts/boms.
I am wondering - what command line options I need to pass to packagemaker to
create such a single-file package?
The only things I could find by searching are the following, but nothing
specifically on *how* to do it with packagemaker:
