You can add the .dist script into the mpkg rather than making a whole new package (assuming it's a bundle package > Right-click, show package contents, place .dist in Contents). -----Original Message----- From: Monte Benaresh [mailto:monte@paceap.com] Sent: 05 November 2010 17:52 To: Glover,David Cc: Installer-Dev mailing-list Subject: Re: Unable to enforce version checks in metapackage Hi Dave, Are you saying that we can add a .dist script as an incremental modification to an .mpkg, or is this the same as making a full-on distribution package? We didn't have time to switch to new tools (especially since we need to integrate them into our automated system) so we didn't consider a distribution package for this release. We have actually finished the coding for this release, and we decided to just let everything install regardless of version, and consider it Apple's bug. But perhaps it is time for us to move to distribution packages.
