I can create a installer package for say the 1.0 version of my product suite. Beyond a few applications, there's a large number of supporting frameworks and files. Great. Now, I need to edit two of the largish applications for a 1.0.1 release. In the old days, we could use VISE and patch the two largish applications, probably using whatever binary diffing format they have. Is there any such process for the Apple Installer? Is there a way to patch rather than overwrite? Is creating the upgrade installer just a matter of having a sparse installation folder and archiving that, or are there other instructions? It's clear I can make an entire 1.0.1 installer package (in much the same way I would have created the 1.0 installer package), internet downloads, obviously I want to keep the package size down. Pointers to documentation or just general pointers would be handy. -nh P.S. Installing a patch file and then patching as a postinstall action seems a little odd. :) _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
