In the 10.4 days you could not include metapackages in distributions...you could only include packages in Distributions (I think). What is the best way to create a packagemaker project in which you can include metapackages and packages....which aren't just treated as files to drop in the system? I can't seem to create anything that will allow this. For example, I create a new project with 10.5 as the oldest target - I then drag in a metapackage. By default it treats this is a file/folder and simply deposits the metapackage in the target path specified in the component pane....instead of running the metapackage as an installer. I've only been using PM 10.5 for a week or so, on and off, so I'll be happy to admit ignorance here....any ideas? When you create a project in PackageMaker 3.0.1 with 10.5 as the old target, you end up with a 10.5 format package which is either a flat archive including both the distribution script and the packages or a distribution script and some flat packages. Metapackages are not supported in 10.5 format as a metapackage could be seen as the choice item in the distribution script format. If you still want to use metapackages, you will have to stick with the 10.2/10.3 format package. This may require using an older version of PackageMaker (on a older OS version eventually).
