At this time it is "gzip" is the only understood compression type. Although this could certainly change in the future, it would be unlikely to be compatible with previous release of OS X. Either way, we are always looking at ways of improving the Installation technology and are aware that there are better ways to compress package content. Observation: It's not like you've made any attempt at making Package Maker compatible with previous versions of OS X anyway. Package Maker, the Application that developers can use to make packages, does not run on older OS releases. But the Packages that it creates sure do! It's possible to create packages that install on every build of Mac OS X since 10.1. Really? I can create a Distribution Package (with multiple sub-packages) in Tiger and it'll work in Panther? I honestly didn't think that would work for some reason. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
