I have several packages in a 'packages' subdirectory, each of which install when run independently. I'm calling packagemaker with the following options: packagemaker --root ./packages --out py4science-pack.mpkg --id edu.berkeley.py4science It builds, has a size ~20M, it 'runs' (steps through the dialog, asking for password, etc...) but nothing gets installed. What am I missing? _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

I ran into the same problem when I upgraded to XCode 3. It seems that the new package maker doesn't support the creation of metapackages anymore (Metapackages were deprecated with the introduction of Distribution packages along about Mac OS X 10.4). I worked around it by keeping a copy of the old package maker application fro XCode 2 around. I did find that I was able to eliminate a whole lot of scripting from my build when I switched to using the new Distribution packages, so I'm only using the old version for legacy projects now.
