Could the distribution script of my package define a dependency for another package (something similar to RPM)? The other package need not be part of the same metapackage containing my package. 2. Would distribution scripts be the recommended way to go for such package dependency management? At the moment, it's the only way, at least using the Apple Installer. -pmb _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

Yes, but the installer doesn't provide any automatic dependency resolution. So you could have your distribution script check for the presence of external files or receipts, but you'll have to tell the user what needs to be done if they're missing.
