What license is this under? I couldn't find anything on the site or in  
the download. 
And how does it relate to Iceberg? They're hosted on the same site -  
is there any connection?

Install Package on multiple disks http://lists.apple.com/archives/installer-dev/2009/Nov/msg00013.html Reply to list

Hello,  
I have created a .pkg in PackageMaker (version 2.1.1 as I am on OSX 
10.4.11) and the customer requests that it be installed from CD-ROM.  
The package file is about 1 GB, so two CDs will be required. 

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can smoothly turn this into a  [...]

1. On which version of Mac OS X are you creating your disk image and  
on which version are you testing it? 

If you build a disk image on Snow Leopard with a background image,  
the background image will not be seen on Tiger. 

 2. I don't understand why you need to bless the dmg. [...]

Take a look at how Apple solves this problem. Download the Xcode
installer and use Flat Package Editor (inside the PackageMaker.app
bundle) to extract its scripts. Inside, you'll find an application
named "Alert" which shows different alert messages and combinations of [...]

RE: Authorization in an Installer plugin http://lists.apple.com/archives/installer-dev/2009/Nov/msg00008.html Reply to list

Hi,

I'm currently looking into doing something similar to this...  Did you
locate any useful documentation, or find that
AuthorizationCreateFromExternalForm was the best way to do it?

Kind Regards,

Hi Greg,

That's a possible solution, yes. Thanks for the suggestion... [...]

It's been a long time, but I think the tactic I used was to copy your
background image to your disk image and then in a terminal, type:

cd disk-image-dir
mv background.png .background.png
ln -s .background.png background. [...]

I've created a custom DMG used for manual installation of my app.  There are two issues with the resulting DMG.  First, the original dimensions of the finder window are not preserved when the DMG is opened on a Mac other than my development machine (where it was created). [...]

We install several of these...just install as usual, and we sometimes  
have to include a postinstall script to change ownership and fix

I simply include it as part of the package itself and the disable it, if
necessary, when installing on 10.4 and earlier as part of a post-install
script.

Hi -  
What's the best way to install a launch agent on Mac OS X 10.5 and  
later using PackageMaker?  I know that the plist for agent needs to  
land in ~/Library/LaunchAgents or /Library/LaunchAgents, but it seems  
that the only real way to get it there is to write a post-installation  
script. [...]

Verifying the signature of a pkg http://lists.apple.com/archives/installer-dev/2009/Nov/msg00001.html Reply to list
Hi

I have a pkg signed using a particular certificate which I want to install.
But before installing I want to be able to verify if the pkg is signed by
the valid certificate. Is there any way to do this programmatically?
