Uncompressed archive in package?
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com I'm assisting creating a hybrid installer DVD image. The idea is that there will be a directory of content on the disk (probably hidden in the UI) that needs to get installed. I don't want to actually build a compressed archive inside a .pkg file, but one with just the .bom and a pointer to the actual directory of files sitting there on disk. (This so that the Windows side can access the same set of files.) My memory is fallible, but I thought that there was a way to build a .pkg in this fashion. The current Software Delivery Guide has no mention of such things. Package Maker seems to only have a way to refer to external .pkg files so they don't have to be included in the top-level .mpkg. The man page for packagemaker(1) refers to the backwards-compatibility mode -u flag, but it seems to just create a .pax file that is gigantic. Am I misremembering, or is this just not possible? -nh _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
