I'm really confused about this....it seems like CI installer integration would be a fairly basic need for anyone building a mac app with a regular release cycle.

I've gotten that crash before as well. One thing I've had success with is rather than calling the PackageMaker command line utility, which is just an alias to the PackageMaker binary in the app bundle, invoke the PackageMaker executable binary directly:
/Developer/Applications/Utilities/PackageMaker.app/Contents/MacOS/ PackageMaker --doc some.pmdoc
Hope that helps

Yeah it looks like using the --doc flag with a .pmdoc file is still broken. If I understand the man page correctly, the following should output a package file in the same directory as the input .pmdoc file:
packagemaker --doc some.pmdoc
Instead I get the following stack trace which seems to indicate that there's a problem in the command line packagemaker's interpretation of one of the arguments in the .pmdoc xml. The same .pmdoc file works like a charm when run from the GUI.

Hi all,
I¹m trying to set up a CI environment where one step involves building an installation package via package maker. I¹m fairly familiar with creating packages in the PM GUI and can create basic packages via the command line. I¹m curious about what seems to be a vast disconnect between the options available in the GUI compared to those available on the command line; the latter of which appears to be very feature poor from the man page description. I¹ve done quite a bit of searching in the ADC docs and on Google only to come up very frustrated. Documentation is scarce at best and what is out there tends to be in excess of three years old. Does anyone on this list know of any current, up to date, documentation on the command line functionality of packagemaker? I¹m specifically interested in setting installation requirements. I¹d also love to see some example scripts using it if anyone has them lying around.
AFAIK, the command line version of PackageMaker accepts PackageMaker project as input. So it's as rich as the UI version.
My experience is that this doesn't work. As I remember, PackageMaker crashed. -Rick _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
