Seems I spoke to soon. I did get it to work, but PackageMaker can only sign *flat* packages (--target 10.5), which is no good to me as (a) I still support Tiger, and (b) I cannot then knock out Snow Leopard's horrible new relocation 'feature' which, amongst other things, will install your application to the Trash if the user has dragged the old version there. Snow Leopard does this *even if you have turned off relocation in PackageMaker*. You need to patch a file called TokenDefinitions.plist in the built package to disable it, which, most likely, you cannot do in a flat package.

You could do that with a flat package. You would just need to use the Flat Package Editor utility to extract the PackageInfo file, modify it and then put it back. You should just remember that the Flat Package Editor utility has some bugs and that you need to quit the application every time you make a modification to a flat package that you want to save.


Not easily, anyway. And attempting to sign distribution.dist in a metapackage results in the installer displaying the helpful message

Just for the record, you can sign both a flat package and a flat distribution.
