Or is there a way how to create a receipt directly from a BOM file? I've read man pages, google and search archives but haven't found any answer.

And you will handle all the correct behaviors on OS 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6, each of which deals with pkg receipts differently? And of course your new pkg format/software installer won't work with any organization that has a mass deployment solution in place, so you won't win any friends in enterprise or large education environments. Well, the Installer.app and PackageMaker are not the best applications. There are some bugs Apple is not willing to fix for a few years now. There are also some things that can't be done. So I was thinking about writing an application, that will install my software, but have the look and feel of Apple's installer and will also create package receipts as is a good manner on Mac OS as far as i know. I have all the peaces except for the one. How to create a file suitable for pkgutil --import-plist from a bom file. I want the receipt to hold correct user/access rights for every installed file so e.g. pkgutil --repair can be used if needed.
