Most UNIX tools interpret relative paths as relative to the current working directory. I'd be surprised if productbuild doesn't do the same. If it doesn't, it's a bug and should be reported. A big exception is /usr/bin/defaults, which does not "do" relative paths. But that is because `default` really operates on preference domains, and not files. -Greg On Apr 25, 2013, at 3:09 PM, Dave Barker-Plummer <dbp@stanford.edu> wrote:

The productbuild(1) command line tool for building installers allows one to specify files to be included in the installer (readme, license and the like) within the distribution.xml file.

I can get this to work by specifying an absolute path name for these keys, but all my attempts to use a relative path name have been unsuccessful. Has anyone been able to use a relative path here, and to work out how the path is interpreted (relative to what)?
