PackageMaker: Combining Multiple Sources in a Single Package

  • Thread-topic: PackageMaker: Combining Multiple Sources in a Single Package

Is there a way, save manually editing the backing XML files, to combine
multiple file system deployment sources into a single package?

PackageMaker 3.0.3 seems insistent on each file system deployment source
being an separate choice (when using the Add Contents... UI) or at minimum,
a separate package (when dragging and dropping).

Basically, I have a distribution consisting of a preference pane, user
agent, five frameworks and two dynamic libraries. The layout, once
installed, will be:

    /
        Library/
            Application Support/
                <System>/
                    lib/
                        y.dylib
                        z.dylib
                    Applications/
                        agent.app
                    PrivateFrameworks/
                        a.framework
                        b.framework
                        c.framework
                    <SubSystem>/
                        PrivateFrameworks/
                            d.framework
                    <SubSystem>/
                        PrivateFrameworks/
                            e.framework
            PreferencePanes/
                pref.prefPane

The preference pane and agent are built by one project and the frameworks
and dynamic libraries each are built by their own project (referenced by the
prefpane/agent project) all of which end up in a single top-level deployment
directory:

    $(CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR)/dist/
        <Agent & PrefPane Project>/
            Library/
                Application Support/
                    Applications/
                        agent.app
                    PreferencePanes/
                        pref.prefPane
        <Y Dynamic Library Project>/
            lib/
                y.dylib
        <Z Dynamic Library Project>/
            lib/
                z.dylib
        <A Framework Project>/
            Library/
                Application Support/
                    <System>/
                        PrivateFrameworks/
                            a.framework

and so forth. I realize, of course, that I could simply change DSTROOT and
tweak the the INSTALL_PATH for the dynamic libraries and drag and drop that
one result; however, there are other packages that are created in the source
tree that assemble (mix and match if you will) some of these components
slightly differently.

Regards,

Grant
