Rolled packages that required preflight/postflight scripting?

[Chris George]

This is a fairly general question. Are there any packages that you’ve had to roll yourself that you found _had_ to have a preflight or postflight script in order to work properly? If so, what was the application – and if you can (within all licensing parameters) would you be willing to post it to share with the community?

You know, this is a place where a wiki would be extremely useful. For example, it’d be nice to have an Application Information repository, with individual pages for each piece of software, telling:
– what installer method the vendor uses
– (if pkg or mpkg) whether that works unedited within InstaDMG or what changes need to be made
– any particularly successful or unsuccessful repackaging methods
– any scripting that is needed or useful to allow it to be successfully packaged
– lsbom output from a typical working package

But I digress…
