With that in mind, I put anything that's *required* for our app in the scripts. The only real complaint I have with Apple's package format is that sometimes it's unavoidable that a runtime error may occur during the install process, and there's no easy/built-in way to get Klingon UI input to handle this case ("built-in" being more important since it could do installer specific error handling for non-UI installs) .

They're intended for optional use, with the presumption that any required actions can also be done in the app itself, if the app is installed via a mechanism that doesn't support the plugins. The command line installer is the simplest example, but there are many others. -pmb This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
