Package dependency management using distribution scripts
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com Hi: I am investigating the feasibility of managing package dependency while using distribution scripts and had a few queries... 1. 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. e.g. Say, I have to install the "iTunes" package that in turn requires an installation of the "QuickTime" package. The QuickTime package need not be part of the same metapackage containing the iTunes package. It could reside on a web server or in a different metapackage outside the iTunes package. 2. Would distribution scripts be the recommended way to go for such package dependency management? If there are any samples/documentation already available regarding package dependency management, could somebody point me to it ?
