is there a definitive way to stop the relocation in the latest version of packagemaker used from the command line?

I wrote an email a while ago explaining how to remove the relocation info from a package after it's built:

Here is a shell script for "bundle" format installer packages which might help:

defaults write FOO.pkg/Contents/Info IFPkgFlagRelocatable -bool NO

As for "flat" packages, you could do this:

pkgutil --expand FOO.pkg FOO.pkgsrc

perl -i -pe 's/relocatable\s*=\s*"true"/relocatable="false"/' FOO.pkgsrc/PackageInfo

pkgutil --force --flatten FOO.pkgsrc FOO.pkg

These hacks "slam" the relocatable flag to false.

Isn't the relocatable flag related to the "Allow custom location" feature (a.k.a. manual relocation of the installation path for the package) of PackageMaker?

From what I'm observing with PackageMaker on Leopard:

Allow Custom Location (ON) + Components Allow Relocation (ON) => relocatable = true + <relocate> Allow Custom Location (OFF) + Components Allow Relocation (ON) => relocatable not set + <relocate> Allow Custom Location (ON) + Components Allow Relocation (OFF) => relocatable =true Allow Custom Location (OFF) + Components Allow Relocation (OFF) => relocatable not set I would tend to believe turning off automatic relocation would require to remove <locator></locator> and <relocate></relocate> sections (or use the -w/--no-relocate option of the CLI).
