Creating a pkg package on Mac
- Open the PackageMaker in /Developer/Applications/Utilities
- Select "Assist me". I tried creating the package manually with "Single Package Project" but the PackageMaker crashed on me twice. It crashed when I was not even touching it but browsing on my Linux machine for stuff like "what does Remove .dsstore files "mean"?
- The "Assist" wizard only asked a few questions like the name of the package, company name, the path for the contents and the installation path.
- Then it built me a nice package that seems to work. I am installing it on top of an existing installation so I don't know for sure.
The package is not a file but a directory. It seems that the mpkg format is not a file either but also a directory. So I created a zip file. What is the convention for this on Mac? Do people send whole directories around?
Anyway next step is playing with the projector. Or perhaps getting the media for Mac OS X 10.5 and give it another try. (And see if I can still build packages
