What is the purpose of BundleVersions.plist and <bundle> in PackageInfo? How is it used by installer? I'm asking as someone who mainly repackages software for distribution with InstaDMG/DeployStudio/Munki/Absolute Manage. Is it only used when you have Allow Relocation turned on

This may help (or not):

Flat Package Format - The missing documentation

Not really (but thank you for that documentation, it's been a life saver in the past :). Apart from the somewhat cryptic "list of bundles that can not be downgraded by the installation process" it doesn't say how the information is used. Is it used to determine if a package should be installed? -- Per Olofsson System Administrator, ITS, University of Gothenburg _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
