I think I've tried building a metapackage from the command line with a
.pmdoc, and couldn't get that to work, either. However, the likely culprits
are the third-party packages I'm trying to include in the metapackage --
they are old-style .mpkg bundles with .info and .list files. They lack
Info.plist and other modern niceties.
I also had problems trying to import these two architecture-specific
installer packages into Iceberg. One almost imported, but I had added an
Info.plist of my own creation into the bundle as an experiment.
So, the only metapackages I've been able to build successfully from the
command line under Snow Leopard are the same -- they have bypassed
PackageMaker 3 entirely. These work swimmingly, but I wouldn't be surprised
if pkgutil throws fits later.
