Perfect, Thanks Per and Stephane. I need to do some checking before I allow a package to be added to a System Image Utility created NBI, and it that only support component packages as a product archive to work. > On 19 nov. 2015, at 14:02, Per Olofsson <per.olofsson(a)gu.se> wrote: > > 19 nov. 2015 kl. 07:10 skrev Erik Berglund <e.berglund(a)MACSUPPORT.SE>: >> >> Hi. >> >> I'm searching for a way to determine the type of a given flat package. >> >> I need to figure out if the package is a "component package" or a "product archive". >> >> I've looked at the different pkg-tools I know of to find a flag or information flag to get this info but haven't found one yet.

So, I'm asking here if anybody knows a reliable way to determine this. In AutoDMG I extract Distribution and PackageInfo from the package using xar: https://github.com/MagerValp/AutoDMG/blob/master/AutoDMG/IEDUtil.py#L185-L2… If you find a Distribution file it's a product archive, it you find a PackageInfo file it's a component package. -- Per Olofsson, IT-service, University of Gothenburg _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

AFAIK, since the .pkg flat files are xar archive and a "Product archive" (i.e. a distribution) contains a Distribution file at the first level of the archives, you can just invoke: xar -t -f thisMysteriousThing.pkg and look for a Distribution file. e.g. #!/bin/sh isThereADistributionFile=`/usr/bin/xar -t -f "$1" | grep Distribution` if [ ! -z "$isThereADistributionFile" ]; then echo "It's a trap... ahem, it's a Product archive" else echo "It's a component package" fi exit 0 On Thu, Nov 19, 2015 at 7:10 AM, Erik Berglund <e.berglund(a)macsupport.se> wrote: > Hi. > > I'm searching for a way to determine the type of a given flat package. > > I need to figure out if the package is a "component package" or a "product > archive". > > I've looked at the different pkg-tools I know of to find a flag or > information flag to get this info but haven't found one yet.
