You would need to search the mailing archive. It's something related to having an external payload. You would just provide the destination where to install the files, not a .bom, IIRC.

I'm assisting creating a hybrid installer DVD image. The idea is that there will be a directory of content on the disk (probably hidden in the UI) that needs to get installed. I don't want to actually build a compressed archive inside a .pkg file, but one with just the .bom and a pointer to the actual directory of files sitting there on disk. (This so that the Windows side can access the same set of files.)
My memory is fallible, but I thought that there was a way to build a .pkg in this fashion. The current Software Delivery Guide has no mention of such things. Package Maker seems to only have a way to refer to external .pkg files so they don't have to be included in the top-level .mpkg.
The man page for packagemaker(1) refers to the backwards-compatibility mode -u flag, but it seems to just create a .pax file that is gigantic.
Am I misremembering, or is this just not possible?
