How to include a distribution script flat package in another distribution script project?

Hello, While I have made "old-school" packages and meta-packages in the past, I am somewhat new to the distribution script installers. I apologize if this is an elementary question, but I have had a lot of difficulty using or even understanding PackageMaker since 3.0 was released. In a number of cases we have stuck with PackageMaker 2.1.1, but in this context it seemed to make sense to roll to 3.0 and try to get it figured out. I was assuming that distribution scripts were able to wrap other "simple" packages or other distribution script packages, but the latter is giving me some problems. Here is my scenario: A.pkg is a simple package B.pkg is a simple package C.pkg is a simple package D.pkg is a distribution script that deploys A and B. E.pkg is a distribution script that deploys D and C. In my E.pmdoc, even though add C and D to the project, D comes up as a question mark. When I build E.pkg, it includes C but not D. Is there something I am doing wrong or is this just outside the capability of distribution scripts? If the latter, then it seems that distribution scripts are less capable than metapackages to create installers where a large number of software components need to be gathered together. Any help would be appreciated. Smith _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
