Hi,
I've a distribution package that seems to be relocating on upgrade rather than reinstalling. Say I install the pkg to the default location, A. Next I re-invoke the installer and therefore have it run in upgrade mode. This time I go to the customize pane and choose to redirect a component package to a new location, B. The Installer application installs the component at B but removes the component from A. In my mind this seemed reasonable but then I noticed that this is not how the XCode install behaves. If I repeat these steps with XCode's Essentials component, the Installer retains the install in A and creates a fresh install in B.
I glanced through XCode.mpkg's scripts but could not find anything inspiring. Does anyone have any clue how this might work?
Thanks,
Sakshi
