I've been using "pax -w -z -f Archive.pax.gz ." to archive the folder containing the package data, which produces a valid archive, but whenever I use that in an Installer .pkg, Installer complains it's an out-of-date format and proceeds no further. Examining archives generated via Iceberg provided me with no clues... I haven't yet tried using the -x flag... which pax format is Installer expecting? Installer.app supports the cpio format: -pmb _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
