This is quite awesome! I'm simply having more problems converting my existing package to this new format. Is there any documentation on how to sign installations for the new OS X versions?

Re: pkg installer interface size...

The Installer.app window is always displayed by default in the standard minimum size. This window can then be resized by the user (1). (1) It may not be resizable if using an old bundle package format in some cases.

Maybe this can be achieved using through something like this: pkgutil --export-plist yourpackageid > /tmp/somefilename.plist # modify the plist file to add the files to the plist pkgutil --import-plist /tmp/somefilename.plist Might be worth a shot. -- Packaging Resources - http://s.sudre.free.fr/Packaging.html _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Hi Stephane, It was not my development system. I tested it on both clean install of Mac OS X 10.8 GM and 10.7.4 Lion (also not a development system).

Or if it was your development system, then you may have installed the intermediate certificate yourself. Hi Stephane, ... made with PackageMaker when signing it for Gatekeeper (so that required intermediate certificates get embedded). I signed packages with PackageMaker and then tested them on ML with spctl tool. The packages were successfully accepted. How did spctl accept packages without intermediate certificates ? It is still not clear. Thanks, Alexander man productsign You have to use the productsign command line tool to sign a package made with PackageMaker when signing it for Gatekeeper (so that required intermediate certificates get embedded). The command line is easy to use. The only inconvenience somehow (in my opinion) is that you have to use a different file name for the output. http://s.sudre.free.fr/Stuff/Installer/Unreleased_Notes/10.8_Gatekeeper.html wrote: Hi, packages?

Thanks. Does this work on OS 10.5 or 10.6?
