What is the purpose of BundleVersions.plist and <bundle> in
PackageInfo? How is it used by installer? I'm asking as someone
who mainly repackages software for distribution with InstaDMG/
DeployStudio/Munki/Absolute Manage. Is it only used when you have
Allow Relocation turned on
This may help (or not):
Flat Package Format - The missing documentation

Not really (but thank you for that documentation, it's been a life
saver in the past :). Apart from the somewhat cryptic "list of
bundles that can not be downgraded by the installation process" it
doesn't say how the information is used. Is it used to determine if
a package should be installed?
They are used to look for a previously installed instance of the
bundle if you use a search locator.
They are also used to attach a postinstall/preinstall scripts to a
specific bundle (that is run scripts before and after the bundle has
been installed).
There could be other internal uses.
