Scripted Mac Package Creation

This is a cleaned up up version of the script I'm using to create packages for internal deployment.

Files:

build_pkg.sh                Include this in your packaging script.
copymodes                   Utility to set correct permissions for system directories.

Sample project:

create_example_package.sh   Run this to create the sample package.
payload_root                Sample payload.
scripts                     Dummy postinstall script.

Usage

Declare the following variables:

declare -r PKGTITLE="Example Package"
declare -r PKGNAME="Example"
declare -r PKGVERSION="1.0"
declare -r PKGID="com.example.$PKGNAME.pkg"

Source this file:

source build_pkg.sh

Copy your payload into "$buildroot", setting modes and ownership as needed:

cp -rp my_payload/* "$buildroot"
with_sudo chown -hR root:wheel "$buildroot"

Build package, passing extra args to pkgbuild as needed (e.g. --scripts):

build_pkg --scripts my_install_script_folder
