No problem... Here is the line from my script which makes the installer package file:
- Code: Select all
/Developer/Tools/packagemaker -build -p $PACKAGE_FILE -f content -r resources -i tmp/Info.plist -d plist/Description.plist
In my case the variable
$PACKAGE_FILE is set to
pkg/productname-x.x.x.pkg. Of course constant value of the
-p switch can be used instead of variable but I run this script in several runs with different values.
The
-f switch defines package contents directory (
content in my case). And it is the same directory I used earlier when I was working with the GUI version of Package Maker.
The
resources directory passed to
-r switch contains files to be included to generated installer package. There are three files in this directory:
background.jpg,
License.txt and
Welcome.txtInfo.plist and
Description.plist are included to the generated package file too. I have them in different source locations because
Description.plist is the same across all versions of the installers while the
tmp/Info.plist is generated dynamically based on
Info.plist template (I just modify it a bit in few steps earlier in the script to change the bundle version in the template but it's not very important).
And that's all - after this line I get the destination package file (*.pkg) which is further processed with the
hdiutil tool to make a disk image file (*.dmg) and uploaded to ftp server
In any case I paste also the both .plist files. I'm almost sure that I got them from the package made earlier with the GUI version and modified them a little to actual needs.
The Info.plist file:
- Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<real>0.10000000149011612</real>
</dict>
</plist>
... and the Description.plist file:
- Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>IFPkgDescriptionDescription</key>
<string>My Great product ;)</string>
<key>IFPkgDescriptionTitle</key>
<string>Product Name</string>
</dict>
</plist>
Hope this helps
