setting a variable with the installer command?

Hi all

We have an installer which knows how to look inside the .pkg bundle for a variable which will be used during installation

This, of course, rules out creating a flat / signed pkg

Is there a way installer an pass a variable which a pre or post flight installation script could refer to?

Otherwise, I'm sure I could simply "touch /tmp/some-file-name"  or defaults write to a plist somewhere, and have the script read the variable we want to use.


The nice part of having a switch in the  installer command would be a 1 step solution, but I'm not sure that can work

TIA for any ideas!

-Allen
