Another issue is if you have a program (bundled .app) in your installer's Resources and run it out of your postinstall script with /usr/bin/open, it'll fail because it gets tagged as "downloaded from the Internet".

Will it work under Leopard? What differences from an installer POV should I know about? Any resources available? Yet, there's apparently a bug in the GM that changes the User Experience with some packages. The NOT relocatable option (associated with a RootVolumeOnly flag set to Yes in my test cases) is not working correctly on at least 2 packages I've tested: On OS < 10.5, when the installation is run, the user does not have access to the relocation pane. On OS = 10.5.0+ (includes the update from this past week-end), when the installation is run, the user does have access to the relocation pane. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

The problem is not the location of the install, but only the attempt to put the receipt in /Library/Receipts. When I change the default location to ~/, the file is correctly installed.
