- PackageMaker, Disk Utility, & hdiutil

I will demonstrate how to use the standard GUI tools  to make a disk  
image an a package for software distribution, as well as how to make  
an installer plug in (so you can customize the installer behavior).   
Additionally we will discuss package based distribution (generally  
for complex installs) vs. drag based installation (generally for  
simple installs).  Also, I will show how to combine all of these  
steps into a script suitable for adding to a build target in Xcode so  
you can automatically have a target that builds your distribution.


- O'Tooles
	We will continue the discussion at our local watering hold Timothy  
O'Toole's at 622 Fairbanks (2 blocks east of the store).


We also wish to thank the folks who run the theater space at the  
Apple store for letting us have our meetings there, Steve Lorenz for  
hosting our listserve and Jonathan 'Wolf' Rentzsch for hosting the  
new and revived CAWUG web site.  Thanks all.

Also, if you are working on a project and would like to talk about  
it  briefly / promote it, I think it would be fun for people to hear  
about  other people's projects.  Please email me off line and you can  
talk at  a future meeting or would like a book to review (you can  
pick one, or O'Reilly sent us a few for the user group -- NEW  
ARRIVAL: Mac OS X in a Nutshell -- anyone want to review??).  Future  
meetings dates: 6/13/2006, & 7/11/2006
