This might not be the right list, but it seems closer than the cocoa or darwin one ;)

I have a driver that has a PPC version and an Intel version (it was necessary to have two for this release, we'll try for a universal next time).

I created two installers, one for the PPC and one for the Intel.

I have a key set with sysctl (hw.machine) so the intel one will install only on a i386 machine, and the other (PPC) only installs on a PPC machine.

So far, so good.

I would like to put them in a metapackage and have the metapackage figure out which one it can install at the proper time.

However, the metapackage does not read the keys out of the installers, so it just lets the user install everything.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Don't do this. Either use 'lipo' to combine your two drivers into a single binary or, if they must have different names, install both.
