Packagemaker command line options

Hey all:

I recently changed our build script to use "--target 10.5" with the packagemaker command. We were previously using "--target 10.3" but switched to the flat package so that we could sign it. This has caused an unforeseen and apparently undocumented problem with our use of  "--resources" in that none of our resources (license, welcome, background) are picked up by the installer at run-time.

Extensive googling tells me that this is a known issue and to fix it I need to modify the Distribution file inside the package. The only two solutions I've seen involve creating the package, unarchiving, modifying the Distribution file and the re-archiving. Obviously, this is sub-optimal.

I note that there is a "--info" option for packagemaker but I can't find any info about the format of the file that goes with it. From what I've seen elsewhere, I'm quite sure the contents will include something like the following:

    <background file="background" alignment="topleft" scaling="none"/>
    <welcome file="Welcome"/>
    <license file="License"/>

Is there a way I can include this in a file and have it merged with the Distribution file that packagemaker generates? Even better, can I get packagemaker to properly generate the XML to use the resources folder?

/Mick
