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To add a note to my previous post, some of the information, in the document that I supplied, would appear to be out-of-date.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
