If you are using the PackageMaker 3 GUI, this is fairly easy. You can add Requirements for package choices (subpackages of a metapackage). Requirements can check results of Gestalt directly, which can be used to detect the current architecture. The applicable Gestalt key is 'sysa' and the result codes for Intel and PPC are 10 and 2 respectively. There are probably other solutions, but this works for me. I would suggest just using a Universal binary if it makes sense though.

I have a project and would appreciate any guidance that the more experienced folks (you) can provide. I have application "A". This application comes in two version: PPC and Intel. I have built 2 separate packages. What I would ideally like to build is a metapackage installer that can detect the machine architecture type and install the correct package for the architecture. But I have no clue as to where to start as to how to get that working. From my reading, it looks like I will be needing a script that would do this. But other than this, I have no clue where to start looking for literature that documents this. This would be the only need I have as far as this is concerned.
