Why do you want to do this?

Well, the Installer.app and PackageMaker are not the best applications. There are some bugs Apple is not willing to fix for a few years now. There are also some things that can't be done. So I was thinking about writing an application, that will install my software, but have the look and feel of Apple's installer and will also create package receipts as is a good manner on Mac OS as far as i know. I have all the peaces except for the one. How to create a file suitable for pkgutil --import-plist from a bom file. I want the receipt to hold correct user/access rights for every installed file so e.g. pkgutil --repair can be used if needed. Jakub

Hi list,

I'd like to ask whether there is an easy way how to convert BOM file to a .plist file format suitable for using with pkgutil --import- plist. Or is there a way how to create a receipt directly from a BOM file? I've read man pages, google and search archives but haven't found any answer.

Thanks a lot,
