Hi All,
I recall seeing a website that went over the different application
packaging types like .pkg, .dmg, etc. I believe it dealt with
creation, pros, cons, etc. I know it was an Apple site.
I cannot find it and Google searches for various things do not turn
up the site I seem to recall.
Anybody know what site I am talking about?

Hi, Jason,
I think that you *might* find what you want in Apple's PDF document,
"Software Distribution Legacy Guide (Legacy)", which is available if
you perform a search of http://developer.apple.com/. It has some
sections discussing the pros of Package Maker, for instance.
If this is not what you wanted, maybe someone else has a clue. Good
luck!
Cheers,

To add a note to my previous post, some of the information, in the
document that I supplied, would appear to be out-of-date. For
instance, the file talks about the need in certain cases to modify an
installer package *after* it's been created. I'm no expert on package
signing, but I get the feeling that if one did that on a signed
package, it would refuse to install.
Cheers,
Andrew
