The dirty details: - from within Package Maker, my pmproj builds a working mpkg file - and I see the following build errors: Missing identifier field for "Package1.pkg" Missing identifier field for "Package2.pkg" Missing size field for "Package1.pkg" Missing size field for "Package2.pkg" thanks, -- Kevin Packard _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

The problem is with PackageMaker's interpretation of project-relative paths when referencing pkg files for distribution. When I switch to absolute path references inside of the Distribution Package pmproj file, the command-line produces the correct mpkg file. I can work around this problem in my automation script by dynamically setting absolute paths in the pmproj file, then invoking PackageMaker. As the distribution script is xml, you can build that file yourself with other tools. I used ruby's REXML in one of my projects.

If they are, how are developers automating the build process? thanks, -- Kevin Packard On May 1, 2007, at 6:02 PM, Kevin Packard wrote: I'm having trouble building a Distribution Package from the command line.

If this is a known bug, how are people automating the Checkout, Build, Build Installer process on OS X? - from the command line, I build the pmproj with: /Developer/Applications/Utilities/PackageMaker.app/Contents/ MacOS/PackageMaker -build -proj Installer.pmproj -ds -p ./ Installer.mpkg - and the resulting mpkg fails to install with the following error: Failed to locate package at path Installer.mpkg/Contents/ Packages/(null) - when comparing the good and bad mpkg files, only the Contents/ distribution.dist is different _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
