Yep, thats exactly what I did I just left it at default for 10.5.
I’m guessing if I build a package for 10.4.x then I will get that
option back?.....Well yea I just answered that question if I choose
10.4 then I get that option back. The 10.5 way is a lot more
secure though it seems, but its useful to have the ability to open
the package and see its contents sometimes.
I think I had this question before and figured it out and just
forgot. I just got done moving our clients and my machine to
Leopard and started to use the latest package maker again, I think
I ran across the same issue before when I was testing PackageMaker
3 out when Leopard first shipped.
You have different ways to look at the contents of a FLAT package:
- If you have installed the developer tools, you can use the FLAT
Package Editor (it will be listed in the Open With Finder contextual
menu).
- If you're interested by the payload, you can use the excellent
Pacifist utility. BTW, if you're just interested by the payload you
can also use Installer.app to display the files in the payload. But
Pacifist is way much better.
- If you like Terminal.app, you can use the pkgutil tool (http://
developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/
pkgutil.1.html)
- If you like compiling, you can download the xar source code and
extract the contents of a FLAT package.
