Perfect, Thanks Per and Stephane. I need to do some checking before I allow a package to be added to a System Image Utility created NBI, and it that only support component packages as a product archive to work.

Hi.

I'm searching for a way to determine the type of a given flat package.

I need to figure out if the package is a "component package" or a "product archive".

I've looked at the different pkg-tools I know of to find a flag or information flag to get this info but haven't found one yet. So, I'm asking here if anybody knows a reliable way to determine this.

In AutoDMG I extract Distribution and PackageInfo from the package using xar:

https://github.com/MagerValp/AutoDMG/blob/master/AutoDMG/IEDUtil.py#L185-L21...

If you find a Distribution file it's a product archive, it you find a PackageInfo file it's a component package.
