It's not "funnily", it's cleverly. With PackageMaker, AFAIK, this would be the only solution. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Installer-dev mailing list (Installer-dev@lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/installer-dev/site_archiver%40lists.a... I'm trying to make PackageMaker add 3 folders to a package. Not one "root" folder, but 3 folders, each within the root. This is because I want to develop from and create installers from the same directory. This helps speed up my development process, and reduce mistakes. If I need to manually copy files around everytime I make a release, this introduces human error and also takes more time and energy. This means I'll be more reluctant to release so regularly. Out of all of those, I just want "happy.app", "DataBanks", and "Tools" in my package. I tried making a "Release" folder, and putting 3 aliases into there, but that didn't work. Funnily enough PackageMaker put the aliases themselves and not the things pointed to by the alias into the package! I tried symlinks, same problem :( I'm not sure to understand the reason why you can't have a shell script copy the folders to a "root" folder since you probably need to set the correct permissions anyway. With a 3rd party app I know, you could just do what you want to do as long as you do not need Distribution List support. Since there are no such things as hard links for folders on Mac OS X, these are the only solutions I can think of. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
